Is e-book DRM even remotely effective? It seems like with something like the Kindle web reader, it would be trivial to  write a script that took screenshots of every page of the book, and optionally applied OCR.<p>Of course, this could also be done with the physical devices and an appropriate machine to press the buttons. The &quot;Analog Hole&quot; is quite present in books, which can be reproduced with no loss of quality.<p>I actually wonder if the Kindle DRM is more a way of appeasing publishers than something that was actually intended to be effective.
