In the US, passing on digital media is illegal, although you should
definitely check what you agreed to when you purchased the material,
sometimes a limited amount of sharing is allowed. Unfortunately,
breaking DRM even for your own purposes, is not clearly legal in the US.
For my part, and I'm not a lawyer, I think breaking DRM for your own
personal use is covered under the fair use act and is further allowed if
you're doing it for purposes of accessibility. Sony for example doesn't
think it's legal to break DRM for your own personal use even under the
fair use provisions but has not chosen to pursue this opinion in court.
Whether it's legal or not is one issue, but whether it's allowed under
the agreement you signed when you purchased the material is another
question. It may not be illegal, but the company could take action
against you such as revoking your membership or preventing you from
purchasing material in the future.
I'm not defending the DMCA or DRM provisions, but I'm just saying that
this is a complicated issue, and it isn't as easy as saying it's legal
to break DRM as long as you don't share the results. IMHO, people need
to read their purchase agreements and make their own decisions on what
they're comfortable with.

So what do you use to remove the .DRM.
I totally agree that passing on books is illegal and I wouldn't want to
know for that purpose.

This answer below is correct, but there are fairly easy ways to
remove DRM from books. This is not illegal. Of course, passing on
the unprotected books to others is.
You can Google this, or you can write to me off list and I can give
you some pointers. I read Kindle books in my notetaker, or in Voice
Dream Reader, or wherever, once I have taken the time to remove the
DRM.

No.
Kindle, iBooks, and Nook books are DRM, Digital Rights Management,
which means they can only be read with their own app.
Voice Dream Reader can only read non-DRM books.
HTH,
