Amazon sells DRM-free mp3s and made this a selling point. I bet they (and Sony) know too well that customers don't like DRM and if either had enough influence to convince publishers to release ebooks without DRM they would do so. But for the time being publishers are too scared of this new era of books (and IMO they have good reason to be) so not many would sign on with Amazon if it weren't for DRM.
