OMG did hell just freeze over. I find myself agreeing with Cpl Punishment.
I agree that the situation is really no different than if your house burned down with all your paper books, would you expect to be able to just go steal them from a bookstore or library to replace them? I don't think so.
The lesson here is: Do Not trust DRM, either Do no Buy books with DRM or Buy only Books you can Strip DRM from and back up properly.
I'm truly sorry for your loss and not sure what I would do in your position, but would like just take the insurance money (hmmm, is there a new business opportunity here?) and begin rebuilding (my library).
