So long as ebooks are readable on general purpose computers, DRM is crackable.
And even if someone did come up with an uncrackable DRM (by only allow their ebooks to be read on closed devices), there's screenshots and OCR (which would be very accurate because the letters would be pixel perfect), or in the worst case scenario, a digital camera.
Not that it would affect me. I just won't buy books where I can't remove the DRM.
