If I am reading the latest version of erdr2pml.py correctly, the metadata is not actually drm'd, it just looks like it. The metadata has actually just been XOR'd with a table that is actually present before any decrypting or unshuffling.

So, FWIW it may be possible to read the metadata without actually decrypting an an ereader pdb.
