Katie, that's
why we have backups. My ebook collection lives in Calibre and that is susceptible to data loss or theft or whatever. This is why I have a backup on the local NAS, on a flash drive and in the cloud. That backup includes my ebooks and my Calibre setup. The task that does the backup to the NAS and the cloud takes less than 5 minutes once the initial backup was done.
As far as I can tell, Baen, Kobo, Amazon and Google all keep track of my purchases and I can re-download them if needed. I've noted with Baen that even if an ebook is no longer available for purchase, I can still download a previously purchased ebook.
As for books obtained from Gutenberg or other public domain repositories, again I could redownload assuming all my backups were destroyed.
