If Kobo closed down today the Adobe DRM'd ePub files folks have downloaded them will still be readable on any device activated with the same Adobe ID the copy of ADE used to download them was activated with.


The potential problem come in if/when Adobe changes their DRM, they've done it before (some folks lost books when Adobe stopped supporting Content Server 3).



I wouldn't trust any retailer to always keep a copy of my books for me.
