The question is if your drm is read by the device or the pc, not the format. I bought several drm pdf's from Amazon, changed computers, and obviously I still have Adobe reader on my new pc but I still cannot read the books, cannot redownload them and so on.

Similarly with Mslit, but there luckily you can convert them, so if I buy one such, I downconvert to Mslit drm-free and then just delete the drm file since sooner or later it is going to be useless.

Regarding contacting publishers, I wish you good luck.
