So this answer to the OP is: no, he can't put his brother's ebooks onto his own device. It's illegal, immoral and undoable.

2 out of 3, maybe. I thought we'd agreed that technically, it's very doable. Strip DRM, copy, install...
Lots of things to do with digital items are very doable, and undetectable.
And for what it's worth, I don't agree that making a copy of a bought book for a family member is some sort of gateway drug to full-on active piracy.
I would not dream of uploading any media that I had bought to some help yourselves public file share, but if my daughter wants to read something I bought, then I don't regard using a send to kindle as anything morally different to lending her a paper book. Or lendng her the actual kindle with the book on it. There is not yet a "for my eyes only" clause in the licence, so that last scenario is completely legal. Send to (her) kindle may not be, but the net effect is the same. She gets to read the book either way. If Amazon don't like it they can shut down send to kindle.
