Or , as mentioned before, annoy people.
Because as we know, it isn't to prevent piracy, as anyone can get hold of kindle books by installing K4PC, no need to lash out at all - and if you're a committed pirate, you'd do it from a computer anyway......

Indeed, DRM is a great idea for Amazon and Apple, since it locks customers into their ecosystems, but I'm not sure what the publishers think they're getting out of it. Creating your own worst enemy is an old cliche in fiction, a pity the publishers apparently never read any of their own wares.
