I predict that Adobe will be shutting down it's DRM servers before Kobo goes out of business, but that's just as bad. No more PC or device activations when they do, and your backed up files aren't worth squat. If you really do intend to keep backups of your purchases, removing drm is the only way to actually do so. (just about every other 2nd player drm providers have shut down their drm servers, including Google and Microsoft. The Big 6 publishers will either abandon drm or abandon the market to Amazon lock in. Either way, Adobe won't have many customers soon.)
