The same is true for ADE version 2.x. It still works, so books can still be de-DRM'd, but at some point in time, the switch will be thrown so only ADE 3.x books will be delivered to customers.
This is one of the reasons why I am (have been) using Kobo coupons to buy every book under the sun which I *might* find interesting. It could be that in the future, I and many others would be stuck with the books we have if we don't want to buy DRM-locked content. In the very least, it can happen that we aren't able to buy some of the books we would otherwise have bought.
In the end, it doesn't really matter. I already have around 800 to be read books, of which 57 are Delphi-classics, each containing many books; sometimes up to 20 novels. Thats up to 2000 books to read. At my current speed of around 30 books a year, this stack would last me for 67 years. And, there are still Delphi Classics I'd buy as soon as they are released in the EU (HG Wells, for example), and I have hundreds of Feedbooks PD-books...
