The great thing about B&N's DRM is that your books are not tied to any hardware or software ID. The DRM is fully enclosed within the book. After downloading a book you do not need a DRM server anymore. Your can just copy a book to as many devices as you want, as many times as you want.
Just make sure you have a backup of your books, and you will be able to read them as long as there is a hardware or software reader supporting the DRM.
