Do you feel a compulsion to file those numbers off?

Those numbers aren't tied to my name. A watermark that has the properties so it can track me, is.
But, in the DRM scheme of things, it's a huge step forward, as, in theory, you should be able to read it on as many devices as you own. Because, that's naturally the biggest drawback of all other DRM schemes: you're tied to a fixed number of readers. And if you want to borrow the book out to your brother/sister/father/mother or even a colleague (which is perfectly normal for any other pbook), you can't.
