OK, I checked. Of the 115 books I've purchased from Google Play none has disappeared. From Google Play itself, I mean, I don't use the Sony Reader. I didn't try to download them, that would have taken too much time.
But there's no guarantee the books will stay there indefinitely. Google might get out of the ebook business. Your Google account might get hacked. Adobe might get out of the DRM business. If you would be heartbroken after having lost your books, then all the more reason
to make your own back-ups. Don't place your trust in Google.
