I suppose the "cracked DRM = more sales" theory is one possible explanation, but I'm always a bit suspicious of "conspiracy theory" ideas like that. I mean, given that the publishers are the ones clamoring for DRM, you would think they would insist that e-book vendors keep their DRM secure and uncrackable.
