What #DRM tools are people using to ensure they can back up their legally purchased #ebooks these days?

A few points to note:

* Hardcoded to the .com store, but trivial to change to .co.uk
* Uses OCR - so some odd / annoying mistakes - especially around punctuation.
* Every line is wrapped in a `<p>` element - which breaks reflow.

But, other than that, remarkably capable. Once you've got your session token, it only takes a couple of minutes to get an ePub.
