Odd. I don't recall ever having heard of this happening to anyone before. Are these books that have been updated by the publisher at some point with something added to make it incompatible? Can you share any of the titles that have been made incompatible? It would be interesting to do further research.

As you say definitely a good idea to have DRM-free backups of all your stuff. Hopefully this doesn't become a more widespread issue for folks. With over 10,000 books in my Amazon library I don't know of any that have become incompatible with anything, but I don't have a K1 (my oldest is a K2).
