I don't have any insider knowledge on the way this works, but assuming it uses encryption keys, a fairly logical way would be to encode the decryption key as a file based on the device's electronic serial number. This would prevent the key being readable, prevent copying of the key to another device (since the electronic serial number would be different) and would not be affected by the location (card or internal memory) of the book file.
Just an educated guess based on how similar schemes work however.
