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.

Absolutely the VIN on your car is tied to your name through the registration and anyone who runs an insurance history of the car will see when you owned it long after you sold it.
If you fill out the waranty paperwork on your appliances or what have you, those create a paper trail.
And we havent even touched what happens if you purchase prescribed medications.
Compared to other things already in your life, a watermark is pretty innocuous.
