Authors should be concerned about this, because while many people are content to abandon their previous library when they acquire a new device, that means they're no longer looking at those books in their current to-read collection, and no longer thinking about them when they consider, "what should I recommend to my buddy who wants something good to read this weekend?" Out of sight, out of mind; books they read and abandon aren't handed along, even by suggestion, to new readers.

OK the way I see it, and I may be wrong, it has been said before,
is if you have your ebook library in Calibre, which is in a folder on your hard disc and let's say you add a mobi to your library. If you change your ereader and want to reread it, you plug in your ereader and drop the book onto the device icon and Calibre will convert it to your new format. So does Calibre break the DRM or will it just not convert it? Because it converts secured PDF's which is similar.
