I totally agree with Harry, I have lost books or access to books after buying from Fictionwise, BoB, WHSmiths, Diesel and Waterstones. Another thread mentioned loss of download links from certain books from Baen. I made friends with Alf and any book I buy is automatically added to my Calibre Library so I read it on whatever device I desire (I am a bit of a ereader tart and don't stay with one company
)
