Bizarre really. One would think that comic book publishers in particular would be more welcoming to new distribution channels for their assets. Many thanks for the heads up, I would probably have continued searching for those since I simply assumed (and you know what they say about assumptions) they would be available somewhere.
Excellent advice. I've got both redundant on-site and off-site backup due to the nature of my work. Rest assured, my books are safe. And thanks to the advent of DRM circumvention I'm also fairly confident that I'll be able to read them in 20 years time. Unless those darn wetjack drm-chips become mandatory..

Have you "read" every single ebook before you got rid of the original? I know I've come across several ebooks that could never qualify as a replacement for the original... by any stretch of the imagination. I'd check them all carefully before ditching/selling/donating the originals.

You're entirely right, unfortunately. During a desperate time in my quest I actually took the time to manually correct several of the books I'd bought. Some books I had to buy three times because the first digital version I bought looked like a pdf composed of images, the text wasn't even OCR'ed. That was in the dawn of my ebook crusade, however, and you might imagine how favorable I am to Calibre which makes maintenance and conversion a cinch.

Where are you shopping from? It might be a location rights problem because Bareback/Benighted is available from Amazon (US and UK)

Hah! You're right! I could have sworn I'd checked the kindle store but I must have been logged into the UK version (sweden can only buy kindle books from the US store, not the UK, which makes absolutely no sense to anyone but region restrictors since it's the UK books we get in physical stores here).
Fantastic, that's the last book I truly love on the list, the rest I can wait until Dark horse releases them as noted by ATimson above. Does anyone know if Perumov's books have even been released as ebooks? It feels like chasing a unicorn, there's references to it everywhere, some even claim to have seen it but I'll be darned if I can find it.
