For a long time OCR of books/pdfs/ebooks was the standard in the ebook piracy scene. Pirated ebooks had version numbers for OCR/quality corrections. The same distribution channels are even still running since before things like Amazon's mobi format (and Calibre) were created. I don't think this DRM change will substantially reduce piracy. Actions like the takedown of Z-Library's domains probably had a much greater effect. One person automating downloading of Amazon Unlimited's new releases and OCRing them would be way easier than the old dead tree OCR setups.
