True, but with DRM protected content, it is impictely expected that you will be able to get your books on new devices.

If the store no longer offered the books for download, then how would you authorise your new devices, and de authorise your old ones.

Mobi is a prime example, with you needing to manage the PID's.

eReader is not so bad that as long as you have your old credit card number, you can still access your books, even if there are no authencation servers.
