If people are going to pass that book around, it only takes one person who knows how to run a DRM-stripping script to enable that passing around. If people are inclined to make illicit copies of your book in the first place, DRM won't stop them (I can refer you to any illegal download site of your choice for proof). You're far better off
not using DRM, which only hurts the honest people, not the dishonest ones, and looking for ways to encourage more honest people.
Most people are honest.
Treating honest people like thieves -- and subjecting them to all of the inconveniences you want to heap on the thieves you can't actually catch -- can only make them
less honest. Instead of winning, you lose.
