You may not be able to access it if you buy a different type of bookreader, or even if you buy a different reader of the same make and the retailer has gone out of business.

Personally this doesn't bother me because the type of books I buy which use DRM are generally the type of paperback I'd read and throw away. I buy most books for the pleasure of reading them once; I don't personally consider an e-book to be a "lifetime investment". Some people do. Personally if I spend $10 on an eBook I regard it like spending $10 on a movie or a pizza - it's a one-time pleasure.

Virtually all the books I want to re-read are out-of-copyright classics.
