I agree with Sarmat. If you want a copy of the book...buy a hardcopy. Eventually one will lose all his ebooks, even if they are in a device somewhere. May take years and years. I personally only read most books once. The ones i would consider reading twice or maybe a beloved series, I will buy paper. The hassle of maintaining an electronic library of books is a waste of time imo. Especially if one has thousands of books. They will never, ever reread them all. The time, worry and money to maintain an electronic library one most likely will never re- read is a bit silly imo.

You are of course entitled to your opinion. I have a very different one. I have no intention of buying any more print books. I like reading e-books, and am far more comfortable with an e-book than with a print book, since I have the option to change fonts and their attributes as my eyes age. I am paying for a book whether it be e-book or print book. I do re-read some books, and have no intention of paying again to do so. Storage of ebooks is easy and dirt cheap, even for multiple backups. I have no intention of losing all my e-books during my lifetime. I regard my e-book library as no more likely to be lost than a print book one. Probably less so. And far more accessible. Maintaining an e-book library in Calibre involves very little time or money, and is no worry.
