My introduction into ebooks/e-readers was via fan fiction. Since I was responsible for getting said fiction onto a word document and on my e-reader I became used to the responsibility of looking after my ebooks. That never changed when I got my first kindle and started to buy ebooks from Amazon. I have never bought an ebook I couldn’t liberate and back up. I’ve bought from over 20 organisations/publishers who have closed down, some quite suddenly leaving no time for retrieval. I haven’t lost a book yet.
