People talk about not wanting to buy from Amazon or BN or any walled system and that is fine. But you take risks when you do that. It sounds like the OP was doing everything that he/she can do but missed one step, a step I have not done yet. I have not done it because all of my books are from Amazon and I trust that they are going to be there.
If something happens and that is not the case and I have not saved them elsewhere that is my bad. I recently got hit with a virus and learned that lesson the hard way. My Hubby was able to clean it off and save everything but I am going to be doing some serious saving over the weekend.

Agreed. Yeah, it totally sucks that the OP could possibly loose the books he paid for. But the providers of those books are not obligated to replace them, nor is the OP entitled to free replacements.
Unfortunately, this is one of those life lessons. The OP will better manage his backups in the future. Just like I did, after I had a harddrive crash and I lost everything.
