It's true that a certain level of technical knowledge (or access to someone with that knowledge) is required to remove DRM. However, I don't think those with little to no technical knowledge would be greatly helped by your ideas. People with little or no technical knowledge are more likely to get viruses, or get their machines hacked. Consequently, their ebooks could appear on pirate sites without their knowledge.
It seems to me that your proposals, while well-meaning, would mean that non-technical people go from running the risk of losing access to their books, to running the risk of being prosecuted for piracy.
