But unfortunately, the same is not true for everyone.

I agree with the statement that watermarking is a form of DRM and so oppose it as well. I do not "share" ebooks I've purchased beyond letting other members of my household read ebooks I've purchased. I do consider it my right to be able to transfer an ebook purchased for viewing on an Amazon device to a device that uses epub book format or vice versa. When I purchase a book I have purchased that book. Not a temporary or revokable license to make use of that book. My ebook library did not contract by as much as 50% when I sold my Sony reader and replaced it with a Kindle.
