Mobipocket eBooks were tied to your computer's hard drive. So if you changed the hard drive, you had to download your eBooks again. And after they wen out of business and you changed your computer, you lost access to all of your Mobipocket eBooks.
When Microsoft closed there server for LIT eBooks, you lost access to all of those eBooks.
When Amazon stopped selling eBooks, if you needed to download any of them to update the DRM, you were screwed and access to all the eBooks you purchased was gone.
Fortunately, when I started reading eBooks, there was a way to remove the DRM from Mobipocket and MS Lit.
