Interestingly, it is not so much the DRM, I think; some publishers
of eBooks are fine with just watermarks added to the books, or some
visible identification of the license owner (e.g. Springer). But,
seemingly, the customer transparency now built into eBook readers
is what interests some sales people so much that they finally
started to be in favor of eBooks: these are now made to provide
them with data good for arguing Big Data. Which has a big crowd,
and (the perception of) big money.
Why don't authors publish via some better print-on-demand service?
