Amazon has apparently already abandoned purchasers of their DRMd Mobipocket titles with no upward path to the Kindle. Microsoft essentially abandoned purchasers of protected Windows Media music files with no upward path to the Zune.
Amazon will undoubtedly still be around next year, but that's no guarantee that file compatibility or support for any particular DRM format will be.
