I don't want to hijack the thread and apologise if this does happen. But it is worth repeating yet again. Everyone should be following your good example. "The Cloud" is essentially a marketing term. What it means for most of us is that our books, movies, music etc. are on someone else's servers. Few of us bother to read the terms of service, and in most cases would be horrified if we did. Yes, its convenient. So continue to use it. But at home you should have a computer running Calibre with Apprentice Alf's tools (assuming, of course, that use of Alf is not illegal in your location). Your Calibre database should contain a drm free copy of every ebook you have purchased. And you should also keep a backup of that database. And if you can't do this with books from a particular Vendor, don't buy from them.
Perhaps I am a little paranoid about this. But if you read through some of the old threads on this forum, you will find repeated instances where people have been in fear of losing access to the ebooks which they have paid for. Recently we've seen the example of Blinkbox Books (which appears to have ended well) and Barnes and Noble (who seem to have simply "toughed it out" and ignored the outcry).
By all means expect the best. But plan for the worst.
