Conceivably it could, it depends a good deal on how Adobe implements mobile DE, and how the industry responds.
Adobe has enormous name recognition and folks generally trust them for making documents for distribution purposes. If the pubs decide that they want to stop playing around with all these silly formats and go with DE then it could emerge as a de-facto e-book standard -- something the e-book world disparately needs (note that some pubs sorta tried this with PDF, and it got a lot of traction in spite of the fact that PDF is horribly suited to e-books).
As for reading DRMed PDFs via DE ... I'm not sure that even Adobe's folks know what they're going to do in that area.
