It would seem to me that it matters why you're removing the DRM. If your library only offers e-books in a format that your e-reader doesn't support, then you have no choice but to remove the DRM in order to read the e-book. As long as you delete the file when your loan expires, I fail to see any problem with that. Yes, you could read the e-book on your computer without having to remove the DRM, but presumably people buy e-readers because they don't want to read on LCD monitors.
