They (files) are tied to a specific device/app.
I think what you meant is that a book (record) can be downloaded to any device/app tied to the account -- and it (file) will be downloaded with device-specific DRM, so for the purpose of this discussion, (we are talking about DRM servers going offline,) that is all that matters. 
I am not sure what the point of your SD card statement was. |
Yes, and ADE, after download is also tied to the device. The SD card example is the one case where a device might not be connected to the USB port but generally the device is sideloaded and gets the file along with a key (loaded elsewhere) which is keyed to the device. The difference I suppose is the ADE copy on your PC can be used to connect to multiple devices where only the cloud works in Amazon.
