I agree that removing DRM from library books is not ethical but then I have ereaders that handle ePub so not the ethical dilemma for a Kindle owner who is only able to borrow ePub format ebooks outside the USA.
The only ebooks I've bought from Amazon in quite a while are ones that are Amazon exclusive. If Amazon and Kobo have the same book even if the Kobo price is higher, I'll buy from Kobo and get the difference in price plus 10% of the Amazon book price (one recent book was $23.99 at Kobo and $19.99 at Amazon CA. The refund ended being $6 ($4 from the price difference and $2 from 10% of the Amazon price) so I ended up paying $17.99. One item that some people seem to have an issue with is the the refund is done as store credit but then I'll spend that fairly shortly plus it can also pay for my Kobo Plus subscription.
