A bookstore is under absolutely no obligation to store your books for you indefinitely. Did they ever tell you that they'd do so? If you buy a book, it's your responsibility and yours alone to download it and keep it safe. You've been an MR member long enough to know that bookstores can and do go out of business! Sorry, but your problem is entirely of your own making.
