And even if not, i don't care. I'll be dammed if drm prevent me to read my books.

Hmmmm... Legality (or not) of removing the DRM varies by locale. It also varies by legal
opinion if you live in the US. That is, here in the US we have neither case law nor clear statute to tell us whether or not it is legal to remove the DRM! We have opinions -- ranging from clueless (much of the public) to semi-educated (much of the public, including me) to professional (actual lawyers) to truly expert (eminent legal scholars specializing in IP issues)... and there seem to be nearly as many opinions as opiners! We won't know what's actually legal until the courts sort it out or the congress steps in and provides clear statute to tell us.
