That's not an accurate analogy. You have the books on your kindle (and in your backup if you made one). They're yours, you bought them. I have the right to access material that I own, even if that means removing the DRM from it.

The article is really light on details. Without more information I really don't see why this story has legs.

"I have the right to access material that I own, even if that means removing the DRM from it."

Not according to the DMCA you don't. Accessing material you bought - what are you? Some kind of terrorist?
