And you've demonstrated a very good reason not to buy DRM-restricted ebooks. Also, for that matter, for buying from companies that only offer, or limit you to, one format.

If I buy a book from Baen, or O'Reilly, or BVC, I can go back any time and download it in a different format. If I replace my ebook reader with one that uses .mobi, for instance, and I'm too lazy to run my purchased ebooks through calibre to convert them, nice shiny copies in my preferred format are waiting for me on their websites. (well, at least except in the case of some O'Reilly books which are limited to pdf, probably because of layout)
