It's only takes one person to crack those books and spread them across the high seas and the only way to force authors to abandon Amazon.

There are always people who extra motivated by these challenges. The fact that these are written texts and shown on a screen means there will always be away to scrap the content off even if that involves a camera on a second device.

DRM only hurts customers who want to pay for content.
