Happily, you can blame the customers that they want to actually read the book they bought, the selfish bastards they are!

If you don't believe this., be warned. There will always be DRM and there will always be pirates who try to circumvent it. This will just lead to more and better DRM and the process continues ad infintum.
I could refer you to the past examples of DRM, none of which survived long, but that is quite obviously a waste of time. Go ahead, follow in the footsteps of music industry and film industry and software industry - it's just so obvious that what didn't work for them will work for you...

Well, we could stop buying your products and focus on products of those creative people who respect our needs. It's not as if we need you - even if there were not a single book to be written, ever, there is a quite large amount of older works to choose from...
