a very good argument for taking the time to understand and use Alf's bits and bobs to strip DRM and keep your book converted to epub.... a bunch of html files zipped up.

The odds of waking up to find epub to be unreadable AND web browsers to be unable to read html all of a sudden AND calibre to suddenly be unable to convert your epub to whatever you like (RTF, TXT etc) AND Sigil (a free epub editor) to suddenly be unable to open your epub is somewhat unlikely.
