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).

Not really a great argument there.
The publishers add DRM to the ebook file in order to prevent you from copying it and making "backups" since they only sell you a license. So the publisher should be liable for replacing the ebook or ensuring that you have access to the licensed content you've paid for.
Of course that's in an ideal world, which this one is not!
