The big difference between paper and digital in this case is that if you want to read one of the books they've moved on from, your co-worker can give you the paper copy they will never read again. If they bought it for the Kindle, you have to purchase your own copy.
So from the point of view of preventing casual sharing, the DRM is a roaring success. However, that doesn't guarantee a sale. You may decide not to get the book at all, if you have to pay $9.99 for it.
