What Cynoclast is asking is not illegal. It's illegal for him to distribute what he purchases, but in these United States of America, it is perfectly legal to buy a book and do with it what you want, even if it means stripping the DRM and converting it. It's YOUR book. You OWN it, do what you like except make copies and sell it. Heck, I'm not even sure if letting someone "borrow" and ebook has been written in law as illegal.
I'll tell you what I think is illegal. Buying an ebook from Amazon on MY credit card and Amazon keeping it locked up on their server and not letting me download MY legally bought copy of a book onto MY personal computer so that I can read the book that I purchased on MY computer. What I think is illegal is that Amazon still has my $9.99 and I still haven't read the book that I purchased. I believe that's stealing. If I can't d/lo the book to my PC. Don't take my money.
