Really - whats the point of DRM?
If you want to tell the user "we could sue you" - okay. Use watermarks and user-customized branding. Not more security but not less then with DRM (possible even more because fewer people would remove it). You could even leave that whole stupid "register your device, your credit cards and your wifes panties size here" idea out.

Regarding ePub as an intermediate formate .. Why not give ePub to the customer? Your reader-software could be able to convert ePub to the reader-format on the fly and without the user knowing, or the reader could support ePub directly.
But I dont really care about the format - as long as it is an open standard, easy to implement (e.g. NOT ooxml) and uses no drm whatsoever.
