The only problem with this is that most publishers, as far as I know, only provide either DRM or non-DRM eBooks. Therefore, without checking with other publishers they will never know exactly why their DRM eBooks aren't selling, unless someone writes them to let them know. I don't think anyone is suggesting letter-bombing the publishers about DRM, but a well worded explanation about why they lost $xx in eBook sales might be noted if several people send similar messages.

Then there are people like me who can no longer stand the idea of reading a paper book, but still want/need to be able read the latest book by my favourite author. In this case the publisher is getting $ for their DRM eBooks, but the publisher still doesn't know that over 60% of my eBook collection is legally acquired DRM free.
