re the problem of ebook piracy, is there not a way to embed a unique digital watermark or serial number of sorts into each individual e-copy, so that if a pirate version is uploaded, publishers and authors can track the leak back to the original reviewer/buyer for accountability?

This is essentially what encryption is. The thing about any signal like a watermark is that if the publisher can detect it to read it, someone on the side opposing the publishers can detect it to remove it. The secret you're trying to protect is, in the end, just text.
