Exactly, that would negate all the advantages of an ebook. A lot of hassle with the cards and you can't download it, you still have to pay for postage. I really only see three ways out of this mess:

1.)No DRM but watermarking -- files can be traced back to the original source and he/she is responsible for any unauthorized copies.

2.)All books will be free and will be full of ads.

3.)It becomes widely accepted that paying for digital content is "the right thing to do".
