Yeah, but I guess if Adobe shut their DRM servers down, new devices would no longer support Adobe DRM at all, and so if your current device died, you'd be SOL. You could buy an older, used device, but those would not last indefinitely either.
Considering this you couldn't really say you owned the book, IMO.
Of course there's DRM removal and all that, but the question was about owning the book legally, and while DRM removal for personal use may be legal in the US (not sure about that), it certainly isn't legal in the EU.
