Granted, it's probably least likely for ADE books, but it's happened with Adobe DRMed PDFs in the past. (They shut down one of their authorisation servers, and if you missed the window to transfer the content to a new server, you lost access to old PDFs.)
Yep. I learned my lesson years ago. Even as recently as when Sony stopped selling ebooks, a number of ebooks didn't transfer over to Kobo because of contract issues. Fortunately, since I had format shift the books and archived them, I am still able to read those missing books on the device of my choosing. I suppose it doesn't really matter if you don't re-read books, but I do.
