Default Can I read my eReader books using Team One's Reader?

Since browsing this section encouraged me to get reading on my Blue Angel, I have been using eReader and buying their books. I now have 20+ books in the eReader protected pdb format.

I saw a post the other day in (I think) Raphael's thread about good, but relatively unknown software titles which recommended Team One's Reader. I liked the idea of a reader app that could handle several formats and took a look. Its a pretty good reader IMO, but it can't seem to handle the eReader encrypted pdbs. Does anyone know of a way of decrypting those files? I'm not really wanting to permanently decrypt them (though if that is the only way...) but if eReader can open them once I have put my credit card details in, then it must be theoretically possible for other readers to do the same.

I bought eReader because I thought that the DRM was nice and simple. I hadn't unfortunately really thought through the fact that it also appears to have permanently tied me to one reader app for those books . Any way out of that would be greatly appreciated.
