Sadly, that is not true. Kindle library loans are supposedly blocked from having DRM removed (as a Canadian, I don't have access to Kindle loans to test this) but ePub loans using Adobe's DRM are not protected.

Hence, my personal decision that removing DRM from library books does not fit with removing DRM so I can make accessible backups of books that I own. I've been told that differentiating between a loan and a purchase is hairsplitting but that's my choice.
