Kobo has DRM. B&N has DRM. Thus, Amazon's success can't be explained by DRM. Amazon's success must be due to other reasons than DRM.

if you or anybody can break any DRM then is there a crack for lastest version of adept or kindle ? another thing to consider is if breaking drm is so easy then those many peoples spending 10k for adept licensing would be total insane.

You cannot conclude from the fact that people buy software that it cannot be cracked. People
do in fact purchase material even when they could simply copy it. DRM is easily defeated, yet people still buy books. TOR has eliminated DRM, and hasn't noticed any decrease in sales.
There are of course, other reasons that businesses would not illegally copy software. The fines can be very steep - that $10,000 saved by illegally copying is more than made up for by the fines that can results. Plus, if you make illegal copies, you won't get support from the company. If your employees attempt to contact customer support, it can tip them off that your company is using their software illegally.
Thus we must conclude that it is not insane to purchase software when it could be illegally copied.
