It's less problematic with ADE, the copy is registered to you adobe account, and will be usable. install ade, register it, import books into ade, send to new device. Adept is crap on lots of aspect, but not that one.
But even there, i de-drm for my peace of mind. So my books are really mine.

And what happens when ADE decides to change its DRM? Or your ADE account goes on the fritz?
DRM is not ideal, no matter the type of DRM. DRM on EPubs is just as bad as DRM on Mobi.
And Kindle is really easy to work with. Multiple accounts are a cake walk. Register the device, open the archive, download the book. No gymnastics there.
If I want to strip DRM, I know to save the Kindle for PC version. (shrugs) It is basic and easy to do.
If I have a problem with my account, I call Kindle CS. My problem is normally fixed in five minutes. It sounds to me like the Adobe CD support people are not that good. Or speedy. Or helpful.
I'll take Amazon thank you very much.
