Remind people that the copy they've been given to read isn't really theirs - that it's effectively a loaned book.

I would actually LIKE to have well-done watermarking in this way, so that I don't have to keep track of where I bought an ebook myself! And a pretty graphic and signature of the author to make it a feature. I was disappointed by the watermarking in the HP books, which was very dull.
This would be an awesome move.

I had to edit my HP books in order to make the watermark page look less ugly -- so it's a good thing it wasn't encrypted.
