No. The watermark is part on the metadata of the book. It is stored in the EXTH header along with the title, author, and other metadata. It is present even if a book does not have DRM. Each time a book is downloaded or delivered it is given a new unique watermark.

DRM data is stored separately in a 48 byte DRM voucher.
thank you for answer.

Is that 48 bytes identical to the atv tag in this post?
