So you are simply betting who you think we be around longer, Adobe or Amazon.

No, I'm betting that the Adobe DRM will be easier to strip than the Amazon DRM. Remember that the DRM is another layer on top of the format and that ePub is in wider use around the world than Amazon's proprietary formatting.
Even if Adobe should disappear, because of the worldwide use of ePub, I expect that someone else would pickup the DRM keys that Adobe abandoned. I suspect that would not be possible with Amazon. Amazon is too much like Apple.
