Ah, ok. I always de-DRM everything automatically (opening books in Calibre does the de-drming). It sometimes happen with the newer systems that newer Kindle books can't be de-drmed, but then I return those immediately.

But I'm surprised a book with DRM can even be added to another device than the one it belongs to, let alone be opened?

It is probably a path that could potentially lead to another sale. The user reads a few pages of the book, gets hooked, and then is told about the restriction.
