While I agree that your Amazon library is unlikely to disappear any time soon do keep in mind that both Amazon & B&N sold ebooks before the eInk device Kindle/Nook days and folks lost access to all of those books when both decided to stop selling eBooks. I'm not saying it's likely to happen again, at least not any time soon, as it's a totally different landscape when it come to eBooks and digital in general. Just something to keep in mind.
Personally I have books from quite a few places that are no more (at least in the form they were when I bought)...
- Harper Collins (closed store, folks lost access and didn't get it back when they opened a new one)
- Amazon (first go around)
- Fictionwise (some transferred to B&N)
- Mobipocket
- eReader/Palm/Peanut Press
- Books on Board
- Samhain
- OmniLit/All Romance
- Borders (transferred to Kobo)
- Sony (transferred to Kobo, mostly)
- CyberRead
- Copia
- Diesel eBooks
- Direct eBooks
- Penguin
- Probably a few more I'm not thinking of.
I don't buy from B&N, but thankfully can still download all of my stuff with Nook 4 PC when needed.
