what they don't understand is that while it would be smart to enforce such restriction for physical books, it makes no sense to do so for ebooks.
in fact, many of the ebooks i buy are not much cheaper than actual books. i do so because i don't want to have boxes of books that i can't bear to throw out, yet no longer want to reread, and that it's much more convenient (for me) to read from an electronic device than a physical book.
such restrictions will only reduce sales from ebook stores (which are not as commonly found as a brick and mortar book store), whose customers have already decided to not go the paper route.
so what will many of these tech savvy customers do? they'll just download DRM-free ebooks online for no fee.
whomever advised the publishers to do so must be dragged out and shot.
