Just as an FYI, and not to advocate any strategy or policy, I got a freebie from amazon in 2011 that shortly after became unavailable. Shortly after that, it would not show up in searches, but the product page still existed. Now, the product page no longer exists, but the download and transfer via USB link still works. (Presumably wifi and cellular transfers still work.) Of course, this could go away at any time, and people have lost books when stores closed, even when provisions had been made to transfer them to kobo.
