I really don't see the issue as long as they're ePub books. Such books are locked to an Adobe account, not a specific device, so as long as you keep the books safe, they aren't going to disappear. I certainly don't see that there's any onus on the bookstore to keep the files for you: keeping your data safely backed up is your responsibility, not theirs.
