The display in Target is a non-working model, genius.
I'm just teasing...The point of all the talk of superiority/inferiority was just to call out that it's important for people to consider their own needs, not just to take some strangers word that X is good, Y is bad, no matter how much bluster and false authority they keep trying to put behind the claim. Even if that person is right for themself, that doesn't make them right period. The same point, I hope, as your closing line in your last post.

Oh yes. It is so easy now that I'm afraid to talk about it in fear that the DRM companies will change something to make it harder. It's scary how simple it is, and, if you're using Calibre anyway, then it now requires no extra steps.
Legally, sure. Some place have no laws on the topic at all, some places are working on laws to ensure that is legally protected, and even in the US, while some claim the DCMA makes it illegal, there are many legal experts who say it does not. It has, AFAIK, not been tested.
Ethically, as I said, up to the individual.
