Disagree all you want. I wouldn't need to hire someone to crack the DRM, people do that for a hobby. A lesser-known DRM would be very expensive, you don't have to reinvent the wheel if you use existing technology. But using a lesser-known DRM to protect a low-volume textbook? That would add considerable cost per copy. It is very unlikely that e-books will become apps. People don't want their devices cluttered with apps, people want to use an app to access the books they already have. App development isn't free either.
