The legality of removing DRM in the US is not clear. Allowing the
removal of DRM for personal use or for accessibility purposes is not
specifically called out in the DMCA. IMHO, I think it's legal under the
fair use law in the US, but the court verdicts are ambiguous so far.
Note that I'm not a lawyer, and my information above may be stale by a
year or two.
Furthernote that the moderators of this list have asked that removing
DRM not be discussed since it's legality is in question. It also
generally violates your usage agreement with your source for the DRM files.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I saw somewhere that stripping DRM from
ebooks EBooks for personal use only if you're blind is legal, at least
in the United States. Though now that Kindle books have become
accessible, at least with the Kindle iOS app this is partially negated.
Thanks,
