One ebook is bought, one ebook is read - even if not by the original purchaser. It's a long way back now, but I seem to remember that the original poster's mother does not have the skills to do the work herself. I can't see how it is wrong for her son to do it for her.

I read the book, removed the DRM, emailed it to my mother and then deleted it from my reader and hard drive. As somebody said earlier hard drive space is cheap. Ok, I deleted it out of habit and to keep a cleaner looking computer/reader. My mother would claim that she does have the skills to remove the DRM, but just doesn't want to bother
