Under the DMCA, circumvention of DRM is a violation of the law. You may as well just pirate everything.
You can address this concern technologically, but can you do it culturally?
Not to mention, what happens when you forget to strip out the DRM and Amazon [revokes your books.](http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/17/some-e-books-are-more-equal-than-others/ http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/17/some-e-books-are-m...)
Are you really suggesting that you strip the DRM out from every book your purchase from Amazon? (Though, feel free not to incriminate yourself on the internet while responding.)
