DRM's got nothing to do with that. As far as Voiceover reading the text, I found that accessible. It was the navigating chapters and continuous reading to be wonky. Then again, that was just my experience. Perhaps someone who was more determined to figure it out can chime in.

I couldn’t read an e-book in the Libby app at all, unless I opened it as a kindle book. You also have the option of EPUB but I didn’t try that because it indicated that it had DRM protection and I wasn’t sure that would work with voiceover. Libby works great for audiobooks and that’s what I mostly use it for. But you can’t beat Kindle for e-books in my opinion.
