I don't think you can compare the ebooks with the mp3s, mainly for two reasons:
- mp3s are mainstream, ebooks are not (yet)
- mp3 piracy was and is mainstream, so removing the DRM was the only practical choice
And people have shown that if they are well served (DRM free mp3s and reasonable prices), they will do the right thing and buy the products, even if they can get it for free by illegal means. Sure not ALL people, but much more than you think. And certainly more than those who can endure DRM and ridiculous prices.
Right now, Amazon doesn't even want people with other ereaders to read their books, so I can't see Amazon to release DRM free ebooks any time soon.
