How exactly would we be technologically poorer in this case? Would Amazon / B&N / Apple / any ebook distributor suddenly lose their impetus to develop ebook-reading tech / devices?

The major stores sell DRM-free music now, but do you think that Apple would have been able to get music publishers on board if the iTMS had no copy protection on day one?
