No, we don't "forget" it Jon - I (at least) simply don't think that it's some huge deal like you do.
I am not aware of
any eBook store that claims that it will keep your books available for you to the end of eternity. Eg, FictionWise (to use one example) say that your books will be available for download "for a minimum of 3 months". IIRC, Amazon kept books available for something like a year after they stopped selling them, which seems reasonable to me.
What does the Sony Store say about how long you'll be able to download your books for?
