theoretically I could then download the ebook again and again from the shop and open it in another adobe account, or let my brother download it for him, or authorize it again with my account..
what is then the use of this adobe thing? or is in the file some protection locked in that only I can use it. but if i can load it again from the shop then i can use it on other accounts the same way. maybe illeagally but possible.
I'm just afraid, if smthg is wrong that i lock myself out of my books.

Adobe is a download mechanism for your books, it will bind an acsm file so it only works with the Adobe ID you first open it with, and it deals in encrypted books so you are dependent on them to provide it for you.
Any ebookstore will list the books you have bought from them, and what devices are registered (but it doesn't matter you can basically have unlimited devices registered). You can always stick with that.
Or google apprentice alf, and backup all your alfed books. A popular workflow is: books ==> alf ==> calibre ==> synced to dropbox.
