You can add DRM to books. But people (being people) will look for ways to circumvent that DRM.
You can decide not to electronify your book. But people (again, being people) will scan that book themselves.
Both are ways to "protect" your book from being distributed without you getting your share of the sale.
Neither of those two work. I think we'll have to wait a generation before the authors are willing to put their books DRM-free in shops. I think the first order of business would be to put all those out-of-print books in an electronic form (and I'm not talking about . Second to put all books in an electronic form.
