hah! I'm in rueful agreement on this.

I really have started downloading my Downpour and Tantor purchases, and my Simon Vance-narrated Aubrey/Maturin books are secure. But other than making sure I maintain access to books that are no longer available, I had another reason for downloading my purchases from these companies - namely, that I think there's a real chance of waking up one day and finding that one or the other has been entirely absorbed by Audible and that while the books are still accessible, they have been DRMed. And aside from moral/philosophical reasons, I need DRM-free books for my waterproof MP3 player.

As for my Audible books, there are so very many of them and converting will require learning how to do it and then all that time and I figured Audible isn't going anywhere.... Yeah, that's a project for the indefinite future.
