Would you like links on how to remove the DRM so you can get full usability out of your ebook? (Well, as full as possible. Removing the usage restrictions won't create internal links.)
FWIW, I don't know the details of DRM stripping; I avoid the problem by not picking up anything with DRM (which I can do, 'cos I am neither a student nor involved in academia). The Mobileread forums don't allow detailed instructions on DRM removal, but they do allow people to state, "google for Apprentice Alf."
As far as we've been able to pin down, removing DRM for fair use purposes (backup, research, educational use) is legal, but publishers & ebook stores work really hard to convince people otherwise. And the presumed legality comes from a clash between two bits of copyright law that hasn't been tested in court yet.
