I thought we were in the same time zone. It is only about  
8:30a (Sunday) here now.

After stripping drm, why don't you leave it in epub? (unless  
the kindle model doesn't support epub?)

I don't have that problem with my drm epub purchases. I can  
"store" the file on Adobe Digital Editions (on the pc) or copy  
them over to the Kobo.  There is no process that would  
automatically make those files go away.

However, if you were to lose your offline storage and wanted  
to refresh the purchases (much like how iTunes maintains  
purchases), then the seller can arbitrarily delete the source  
file or modify it so that you get a different edition.

Lately, most of the time it has been hard to motivate and get  
"work" done. The shelves could be half-empty and I'd probably  
feel the same way.  I'd rather read a book or watch a film.
