I believe the sentiments expressed above were that DRM itself is the problem. If we ignore the by-design restrictions of the DRM scheme, DRM'd books don't generally suffer from problems any more than their friendlier DRM-free cousins.

What should I use to get ebooks that won't create problems for my reader, be breaking any legal, moral or ethical laws of downloading book.
Wow... that is quite the tall order. By not breaking moral or ethical standards I'm assuming you mean stripping DRM. Are you still looking for DRM-FREE books only? Or are you more flexible in this regard with what I stated above?

If you still only want DRM-FREE content, but consider it ethically wrong to break digital locks, you're unfortunately going to be severely limited.
