I guess I am just different in that few of my possessions are as easily replaceable as ebooks. Even groceries I would have to go to the store to replace. Hopefully my freezer doesn't blow up. I'd be really annoyed about that.
I'm confused. Does your contents insurance not cover thefts of electronics and pbooks, or spoiled food from freezer breakdown? Those are standard coverage items here. Example (there are also policies with unlimited coverage, this is just a basic level policy. Mine also covers accidental damage or theft of valuables when I'm away from home with them - say, if I've just bought a TV and am transporting it home when I crash the car, or if my laptop is stolen on a bus).
