The reason for registering with an Adobe ID is so that you /can/ read your DRMed ebooks on other computers and devices. The DRM keys are based on the Adobe ID in that case. It's only if you don't register that the DRM is tied to a particular computer and installation.

I too fail to understand why Adobe allow people to use ADE without registering. It almost guarantees that naïve users will get caught out by the DRM.
