I want to know if this is even legal. My question is in the context of wanting to have a back up copy for myself or for being able to read a B&N nookbook on a Sony ereader etc.

First I Am Not A Lawyer, if you want a real legal opinion you need to ask someone who is.
That said, my understanding is that the only exception to the DMCA for literary works is "... if all ebook editions prevent enabling the book’s read-aloud function or the rendering of the text into a disabled-accessible format."
So short answer, it is not legal.
