Fictionwise used to offer that service. When I bought my Sony, I was able to download all the books I'd bought from FW years before.
Once again, it's the definition of a 'license' rather than ownership that establishes that one is entitled to replacement copies from the provider.
At issue for Angst is whether it's OK to obtain copies elsewhere if the provider fails to honor that tacit agreement.
For myself, once B&N bought FW, I went in and backed up all the books I had bought - I didn't trust them to keep faith anymore. Unfortunately, I was correct.
