So there's actually a single point of failure in the whole ecosystem - Adobe. What happens if Adobe decides their epub drm tax isn't worth collecting any more, or they go bust and their servers are turned off?
Kobo might be in a better position than most surviving stores as they've got their own home-brew DRM as well as Adobe's.
