It is like changing your cell phone number. Your phone still works because it still has the same electronic serial number. The just associate your new phone number with the same ESN and everything still works.

This is quite interesting. How, then, does a 3rd party website/bookstore, deliver me an ebook with DRM in it based on the Adobe ID? They might know my ID, but since they don't have the password not the "electronic serial number", how do they obtain the necessary info to lock the ebook to my ID?
