I'm afraid the average user won't have any serious issues either. Because the average user isn't worried about saving ebooks for future re-reads. It's surprising, I know, to discover that many people read books and never look back, but it's true. Most ebook buyers are not "collectors" who obsess over the availability of their library. Most just move on to the next ebook. Their supplier of choice "going under" is only likely to affect their
next purchase, not their old ones.
