Steve,
I am not sure I entirely agree with us being such a small minority as to be insignificant. At this point (well before Oprah talked about the Kindle on National TV) I think it was safe to say that that majority of eBook readers are early adopters of technology and many of them by nature are tech savvy.
Now I will grant because the age demographics of readers tends to skew higher than the age demographics of music and video watchers, they will be less likely to go onto darknet than the purveyors of other media, but I am not sure I would write it off as a source of lost revenue.
In any case, I think over time, if draconian DRM remains the norm, I think it will force more and more users to start circumventing it in some fashion or the other.
