I honestly cannot imagine the pain of having to re-download every book each time I buy a new device. It is bad enough now but think what it might be like say ... 10 years from now when we will all probably have digital libraries of thousands and thousands of books.

I just put them into Calibre as I buy - it takes a couple of seconds for each book. Plus you have to consider that I, and many others, buy eBooks from several stores. It is way easier just to keep them all in one place in my Calibre database than to try and remember what store has my copy of each and every book.

Thank goodness for Calibre and it's plug-in, and the ability to mass select and click "move to device."
