So yes, "I wouldn't trust any seller to keep my books" .
I've noticed that most of the books that are no longer available for new purchasers are still available to me to download from Baen. Since I make a habit of downloading and archiving my purchases, most of my looking at older books has been to see if they added an epub edition after my purchase -- a lot of my earlier Baen/Baen Bundle downloads were .lit format.
