Of course, this might not be the case after another five years.

What it will affect is newly purchased ebooks. At some point (undetermined, but probably withing the year), new ebooks will be forced to use the new DRM and will be unreadable on older devices, unless they get a firmware upgrade.
Yes, but doesn't that mean that I wouldn't be able to read the new books on my old device? Compelling me to get a new e-reader? (If I understand it correctly.)
