If you intend to keep for future use, Ebooks should always be De-DRM'ed while you still can. Even with the tools, you still need the original DRM server (for Adobe) or know the CC # used to buy the book (for B&N), to do so.
*Forward Looking Statements that may not come to pass exactly*
I would be especially wary of any Adobe DRM. In the very near future, (I estimate 2 years) the New York 6 are either going to realize that they have to give up DRM to allow the free market to save them from Amazon controlling and supplying the channel (as the music publishers did), or they will die a horribly quick bankruptcy. Either way, Adobe is going to find itself bereft of any paying customers for E-book DRM that doesn't even work for it's advertised purpose. At that point, like nearly every other DRM provider before it (including Google and Microsoft,) the authentication servers will be shut down, regardless of implied 'indefinate' book acces, and anyone who has previously purchased DRM restricted books with no migration path will be left scred.
