It might happen - but I wouldn't bank on it happening quickly. The dynamics of the music and MP3 player industry is very different than the e-publishing and e-reader industry.
Without going in to a long comparison between the two - lets just say that the conditions that triggered the adoption of DRM free music don't currently exist in the e-publishing arena and things are very far away from getting there.
