after some rethinking:

forget it. any DRM that's working from a publishers point of view would not be one that I would like, cause it will bind you to a specific combination of vendor, os/software and hardware (I think I am not the only one). I don't want to rent my books (well except the ones from the library). I have books in the bookshelf, from when i was 10 years younger, looking at the development in the IT world (and having seen hardware dieing often enough), I don't really want DRM.

I just hope the publishers will realise this soon enough.
