But you can no longer authorize a new device. So if your old device breaks or wears out, that's it. You won't be able to read your epubs any longer. The same goes for Kindle books. They're keyed to a specific device or app. So if Amazon drops their ebook business or goes out of business altogether, you will be able to read your Kindle books only as long as your device they're keyed for lasts. Yes, I admit, either scenario is not likely to happen any time soon. Still, as long as your books have DRM, you're not independent.
