Well, if they use DRM, then they should guarantee that you should at least be able to read it. Life isn't a one way street. You don't get all privileges and no responsibilities as much as some wish it were so. I agree with you that it's my responsibility to keep my books back up (which I do). But this sort of thing is why I also format shift all my books so I'm not dependent on a specific app to be able to read them. I learned my lesson years ago when peanut press got out of the ebook business leaving it's customers unable to read the books they had purchased.
