I'll stumble on and fill in the missing pieces someday.

I downloaded them, removed the DRM and moved on. No books lost, simply the ability to re-download them.
But a good reason to kill DRM: DRM is making us all into felons, simply because we like to listen to music or read books, on devices we decide.
