Congratulations, Kobo - you've just guaranteed I'll never buy an audiobook from you again. Good thing I archived what I already had.
Doesn't the problem stem from the fact that when we "buy" an audiobook, we actually are not buying it, but we are buying a license to it? The company, technically, still owns the audiobook? Or am I off base? So, the company can monkey (no offense, intended, tubemonkey) around with the files all, and in any way, that they want to.

I know that that is true with ebooks. I think that that is how Barnes & Noble (Nook), several years ago, got by with suddenly making their ebooks un-downloadable (and without any advance notice at all, that I remember (I still hate B&N because of that (I know, I know--I should have been backing up the files; but, I had backed up only a few of them); since then, I have not bought another ebook--or anything, for that matter--from B&N)).
