However, ebooks could be tagged with the buyer's name on a front page, next to the copyright notice: "This ebook purchased by [username, email address] from [url] on [date]." Additional watermark-ish things could be added to the metadata, and possibly chapter shifts.

I would also add the identifying text in the background color before each chapter, so that it would not be seen at all and still be there. It would survive every format change or copy/paste action.
It would be harder to add these watermarks for each book individually but Amazon has enough cloud computing power to parse and update each file before sending it to a Kindle.

That sounds like a good company. Would you mind telling me what company?
