But yes, one would have to strip the DDRm and then format shift in order to use ePub on a Binatone Readme. Why it supports such a poor format set, I have no idea.
That's why I put legally in quotes Yes, the DMCA and fair use are at odds with each other, certainly with the content you bought. Time-limited DRM such as books borrowed from a library is a different subject, I believe it'll be harder to argue the fair use point in such a case.
