I don't think this is the long-term solution and I hope it isn't as clouds are too vulnerable. Just look at what happened with the Playstation network last week (ok, not a cloud) but if all books, films, music were stored on clouds the same thing could happen and we'd all lose our access. Also what happens when companies go bust or decide not to host the e-books anymore? What about people who have unstable internet access?
I'd rather have a copy on my own hard drive and DRM than a copy in a cloud.
