I would assume that like DRM on music, DRM on ebooks will eventually fall by the wayside. Amazon doesn't seem to be particularly focused on keeping DRM, the DRM on kindle books was broken long ago and Amazon doesn't seem to have made any particular effort to update it. Tor dropped DRM sometime ago.
