Look at iTunes. How did they made it at Apple's? They created an mp3 player (iPod) that perfectly blends into their mp3 shop (iTunes). The average customer won't even notice that their is something like DRM. Ever thought about what will happen if Apple goes out of business one day? Well, I hope you have saved your licenses somewhere.
But the point is: Because of good advertising and seamless integration of a gadget into a shop, customers accept DRM because they don't notice it. Why can't this also be a good model for ebooks?
