Not to mention the time and expense converting existing epub books to the new DRM. And of course by the time they could do that someone would have worked out how to crack it. The government has had similar problems over the yrs with counterfeiters making their 'funny money.' Every time (in the past) that they come up with something to prevent it someone seems to have come up with a way around it. I can't see ebook protection being any easier.
