Once again, and I hate to sound like a broken record. Most people who legally obtain eBooks don't share them. If they did, I don't think a water mark will stop them.
I would not be adverse to (strong)DRM at all, if it meet the following needs:
1. It was device agnostic
2. It was manufacturer agnostic
3. It was transferable
4. It would allow for offline or optical archival
5. The above could be supported without a "phone home" except for maybe item 3.
