So you're assuming ebook readers would have *two* inputs: a fingerprint scanner, and a backup password entry method? Why bother with the fingerprint, then, as DRM, when people could just hand out the ebook with the password?
The idea expressed was ebook DRM that was better than the current system. Anything with a backup password is not, from the publishers' perspective; they don't want books that can be opened with a freely-exchangeable password.
