People are already complaining about DRM: what if the shop stops, I can't get a new version for a new device. But if this service stopped, you'd be left with absolutely nothing. While if the shop stopped, and you made a copy of the book, you can always try to de-DRM it.

Well yeah, that's one of the major problems with the whole idea in general. It's more like renting, or a paid subscription service, than actually buying anything.
I'm really only supportive of the idea because it's bringing something new to the market place.
