So no, these are no time limits on purchased ebooks.
When you buy pbooks, you are not forced by the bookstore to keep them in a storage unit, or in the jungle. You choose where to keep them, and you choose what risks to take as well. With ebooks, you have no such choice.
And if you change bookstore, your existing pbooks remain accessible to you.
