Most of my ebooks are stripped of DRM and stored as both EPUB and MOBI in Calibre. So far I'm at about 2000 with about half off public domain libraries. I tend to buy books in collections like Amazon's Ed McBain sale (35 @ $1 each) or 100 TOR for free or Ebay and just load them up. I tend to clean stuff up in Text Edit if there are conversion problems. Do I expect EPUB and MOBI to last forever, no, but I don't expect to be around in another 50 years and do not care.
