Good point. I had the same problem when I changed the credit card associated with the BN account; luckily it was early on and I didn't have too many books to redownload. But it was one of the main reasons that I decided to routinely strip DRM from every book--originally I had just done it to convert a handful of Amazon books I'd had through Kindle4PC.

So there was an unintended consequence of DRM. I didn't want to share books with friends, I didn't want to upload books to a file-sharing site, I didn't even want to go to another bookstore. I just wanted to ensure that I would be able to access my own books in the future without additional hassle.
