Despite their advertisements, no ebook seller promises to hold your books forever. Many of us have purchased books from other sellers who no longer exist and have lost those books - or an arrangement was made to transfer them to another seller, but not all could be duplicated.

As an example, Sony used to sell ebooks, and transferred all its customers to Kobo. I think most of my books transferred over, but not all (I had a lot of early "freebie" crap that I didn't really mind losing).
Yep, anything that Sony only sold in the proprietary LRF format and never made available in EPUB has been lost. I don't recall if any EPUB books failed to transfer.
