DRM ebooks are less of an issue unlike other forms of media because it’s extremely easy to convert to an open format, as long as you have access to the ebook file.
You only need to install Calibre and an add-on for it to remove DRM, which you will need to search for on the web as it’s not baked into calibre for what I hope are obvious reasons
All except for Amazon. You need to have access to your Kindle Serial ID. If you don't have it, or deleted your Amazon account like I did, you're SOL.
Unless there's another way to De-DRM Amazon books thru Calibre that I don't know about.
