You're quite right that the cloud for ebook wouldn't work if you had to have

Will I be able to read my ebooks on my Sony, my iTouch, and any other device I buy in future, until the day I die?
Will I be able to load and listen to my music/audiobooks on my Clip+, my iTouch, my car stereo, and any other devices I buy in future, until the day I die?
If the answer is "no" to any of the above, why would I have any interest in "the cloud"?
