No one's going to buy it. And upon what device will it run? Your obscure, expensive DRM is no good at all unless people have devices that can decrypt that DRM. People aren't going to buy an obscure reader that runs obscure DRM, as it will cost them a lot of money. They will just buy something else.

To a degree I accept this. A less known drm wouldnt keep their cost as much as Adobe do. For cracking a less known drm you need to find somebody and hire him so that you can read on. Soon when mobile apps will be dominant mode of ebook consumption then it would be matter of installing required reader in your handset. Although current state of mobile framework arent secure enough... Still i accept that relying on my solution is just a transient option.
