I never bought an ebook I couldn't back up.
DRM-free from day one, Lit after Convert lit, mobi after deDRM, Kindle after...
It's not about sharing or even format-shifting.
It's the principle of backup.
I don't see cloud storage and/or eternal redownloads as a replacement for true backups. I've always done backups. Of all my data. On floppy, on tape, on DVD, hard drive, or solid state media. Usually on more than one.
Simple security.
If I bought it I want to keep it.
Especially books because I reread.
