The essay for Pride and Prejudice is 70+ pages long, for example. Well, 70 pages as the B&N app paginates.
I wonder if there could be an effective argument for circumventing the DRM, and not violating the DMCA, on the grounds that you received "Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen," a book known to be in the public domain and therefore not covered by the DMCA, which only deals with copyrighted works.

If the publisher threw in a bunch of new, copyrighted material, it might be their job to indicate that in the book title somewhere.
