So it is possible, apart from human nature.

When the sale is one-on-one instead of X downloads from one file... not even close.

The potential market for illegal downloads is much smaller than the market for legal sharing and lending.
There are many, many people who for legal, moral or technical reasons have no interest in illegal downloads, but would love to be able to lend their ebooks to a friend in the same way they can lend their real books. If the ebook was linked to a physical storage device, and had no other locking, they could do that.
