If they do use CC# as watermark, it will no doubt be encrypted or stored as a hash. How difficult it would be to break the encryption, we don't know.

Although, no doubt, someone will figure out how to remove the watermark within a week of release.
Precisely. *We* don't need to know what they named the file if it's an image -- I was being facetious with my name (although how many images are embedded in a typical epub, really? The HP books aren't illustrated.) There's a big ol' internet out there and Google is a good friend.

I actually find a watermark more "invasive" than DRM. I find this whole thing....disappointing. To say the least.
