To answer the OP's original question, here's the process I suggest you use.
- Download your purchases to your computer, not your device. All stores offer a way to do this.
- Strip the DRM from your new e-book.
- Import the book into a collection manager like Calibre.
- Transfer a copy of your book to your e-reader.
A third-party plug-in is available for Calibre. With it, you can do (2) & (3) with the click of a button. Google the words "Apprentice Alf". We're not allowed to offer any further DRM assistance at mobileread.
This is a more cumbersome way to buy e-books. However, you'll always be in control of
your library, and you can read your books on any device you choose.
For the books you already have, I suggest your run them through steps 2, 3, & 4. You can access and interact with your e-reader as if it were a typical USB drive. Move your shackled e-books from the device to your computer. Process them. Replace your corrupted e-books with clean ones.
