If I didn't remove the DRM, I could not convert most of the Amazon eBooks I have. I also could not fix the formatting for eBooks I read.
Mobipocket DRM was tied to the computer. So if you got a new computer or even a new system drive, you would not be able to do anything with the eBooks for DRM.
Microsoft stopped the DRM server for LIT format eBooks that you used MSReader to view. Because of this, all of those eBooks are no longer able to be read as long as they have DRM.
Before the Kindle, Amazon sold eBooks that had DRM and sometimes that DRM needed to be updated so people would download them again with updated DRM. Amazon stopped and the eBooks that people purchased were no longer able to be downloaded to update the DRM. So if anyone needed to update the DRM, too bad.
Some eBook stores have closed because of Apple and the major publishers getting together to stop eBook stores from being able to discount eBooks. They killed off their business models and they had to close.
These are reasons why everyone should remove DRM. If the DRM was not removed, you could have lost a lot of eBooks.
I do edit my eBooks so they look better because the formatting/code can be a mess or not what I want. To do that, any eBooks with DRM need to have the DRM removed.
