If you're trying to make digital goods like physical goods - then yes, it may make sense. But in such case you're doing extra effort to limit what is already free. It's harder to limit information than to simply copy it.
I think book DRM is simply at an earlier stage than music DRM. To me "DRM is going strong in ebooks", and similar, are hollow words, because I know of resources like Project Gutenberg. I think it's just a matter of time now.
