I'm not sure what you're actually trying to say here. This feels like the positive version of an ad-hominem attack: "Ignore what they're doing because they're really good guys."

None of this changes the fact that the removed tools where the primary means for most people to unencumber content they own.

You have one paragraph dismissing DMCA and copyright, but that's the primary issue here. The fact that it's Readium issuing the DMCA notice instead of Amazon is immaterial in my opinion. The effect is the same.
