The lesson everyone with an e-reader should learn is to store your books on your computer so that you have a copy of what you bought just in case something like this happens again.
It is more likely that the independent bookstore you bought your books from might have their contract with publishers change and can no longer keep your book in their system and you lose access. I have heard of this happening more then once and screwing over a ton of folks.
If you buy a book, save it on your hard drive. Then you don't have to worry about the book being lost. Pretty simple.

Provided that it either doesn't use a DRM package that requires access to an authentication server to copy the file on to a new device (which, IIRC, ADE does), or you're willing to strip off the DRM (which may or may not be legal for you to do).
