Not exactly. As stands you just wait till somebody pirates the next book in the series. Besides while being held to ransom for the next book is fair, if the book ends before some sort of conclusion it's going to be hard to get a good review. It does happen, but I at least ain't into forgiving it.
I am talking about firmware in the kindle that will detect copyright material and react. You could load a pirated copy but it will just do a text compare with samples from a large selection of Amazon's better sellers. The processing power and storage involved is feasible.
The sting would be to not simply deny access to a pirated book but to do it in the most irritating way possible. I have heard of ideas for slowly removing features from pirated games on the same principle.
