Background: When possible I prefer to buy titles in a format from which I can remove the DRM as I find the formatting very poor on a PRS-505. I then reformat and publish in LRF to retain full justification using the excellent Caibre.

I was wondering whether such a practice is legal in the UK, Germany and New Zealand (ie I am from the UK, posted in Germany and emigrating to NZ)?

I would not bother with the whole process if the 505 could display justified text in ePub files.
