Is there any particular reason for this sudden outbreak of necroposting?

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.
If you do it for personal use, then nobody would ever know (and probably wouldn't care, even if they did).

If you want to be picky, a search warrant could be obtained for your eReader with probably cause. But, if it's password protected you may be safe - from what I understand you can't be forced to enter your password. The Fifth Amendment protection from self-incrimination apply in that case.
*I* wouldn't bet my freedom or hanging on to my laptop if you pass through customs/TSA. They've been known to demand passwords and have, in the past, seized laptops when the passwords were not given.

Yes, but it is still interesting and the laws are evolving.

Doh! I wasn't paying attention, obviously.
