Trep,

This actually has nothing to do with DRM, rights or restrictions.

First, the two files you have on your device, booknameEx.pdb and booknameKz.pdb, are not the actual book. They are files that save additional information, like notes, highlighting, and current location in the book. So, no, eReader will not list those files in the 'Open' dialog. You need the file bookname.pdb, that is the actual book. If you have that file, then all you need is the CC you used to purchase the book and you don't need to redownload it.

Since your new email isn't 'linked' to the old email as you say, can you log in using your old email address? Perhaps when you changed emails, a new account was created instead of updating the old.

It is too bad that you haven't gotten a reply, but I hope this helps.
