They don't even guarantee that if the store you buy the ebook from folds they will make available a download of your paid for but no longer downloadable ebook. Now if Amazon said they needed to add to the price of ebooks to pay for their expences there would be some justification. And don't talk about the publishers servers. They already had those to handle billing and payrolls, adding ebook downloads to Amazon wouldn't add even pennies to the mix.
