One of the reasons piracy hasn't made much of dent in sales is that most people don't read ebooks. Most folks don't enjoy reading on PDAs and phones for extended periods and e-ink devices are expensive. It's still an early adopter thing. When we get to the point where every student and most people who read with any frequency have reading devices, then piracy might actually make a real impact. Still, DRM is not the answer. It only hurts your honest customers.
