Basic principles. You can't create a book that can be read but not cracked. If nothing else an application attached to a camera can read it off a screen and recreate it.
What you can do is:
1) Create a device that displays only books with uncracked DRM. A device can be uncrackable. We all know the answer to that one. Anybody with brains won't buy it if there is a viable alternative.
Still, the next kindle might only display Ebooks after the licence if confirmed via internet connection. Alternatively it can search a download for key passages of copyrighted text. How would you feel if you read half the book then your Kindle demanded cash to finish it? Lots of cash as a fine? Blacklists itself from the net for piracy?
2) Popularise Ebooks with additional interactive online content. Access to a web site can be uncrackable. How good is your social status/self esteem if you can read the book but not get involved with the whole experience?
