It's happened before with Amazon. People have lost access to DRMed PDF ebooks that they bought from Amazon, when Amazon dropped the format when they bought Mobipocket.

It's happened with Fictionwise, when Overdrive pulled out, and left people without any way to re-download certain ebooks they'd bought in Mobipocket format.

It's happened with Smashwords, when authors have withdrawn their books to enter them in Amazon's exclusive deal system.

It happened with HarperCollins, when they closed their publisher-run ebook store.

And it's happened several other times, too.


It's not paranoia to be concerned that you might lose access to ebooks, when it's happen several times in the past, from multiple companies.
