This is not true for Adobe eBook DRM. Unless a book specifically licensed for a single device (Book Info in Digital Editions will tell you if that's the case) or is a library loan, you can just move the file around between PCs and devices activated to your account and it will just work. No need to redownload it. And it will keep working even if the bookstore where you bought it goes out of business.
