ETA Ok, I jumped to conclusions. Sorry. But you can keep a book for three weeks, why would you want to remove the DRM?

Two simple answers:
1) One use case is not to manage library accesses frequently but to lend a couple of books that could be readable even after a longer periode than a few weeks.
2) And yes, of course: EPUBs without DRM can be shared to other users.
In germany many libraries seem to change now to CARE DRM completely without a fallback option like Adobe DRM.
All Tolino readers get a software update to be able to manage CARE DRM EPUBs directly, with the exception of the Tolino Shine (1. Edition). That piece
of hardware starts to get unusable.
OK, from my point of view it is no reason to remove the CARE DRM for such devices but other users maybe will be lucky to use their devices for the next time and do not need to trash it.
Anyway - Calibre is (from my point of view) a good argument due to the available DeDRM plugin. Without DrDRM this tool falls back beeing only a document management software (what is the basic tool intention, but not the main feature for me).
