Absolutely years ago automated capture via page turning hardware simulating a finger and screen capture via camera was demoed.
Many books are commercially pirated from even paper ARC.
So you don't even need to remove DRM. It only inconveniences ordinary real customers. It and most of DMCA are simply tools of big corporations to control customers, not real prevention of IP theft or stopping of commercial piracy.
This is also why Amazon likes KU and companies like SaaS (Software as a Service), ideally tied to the "cloud", which is marketing for "some corporate owned server on the Internet". So also gadgets that need "cloud" subscriptions or if they are free, you and your data / usage is the product and the gadget is dead without the server.
