Welp, I’ll offer the alternative POV. Right now, the overwhelming majority of my books have been purchased from Kobo or Amazon, and I’m not all that worried about accessing them. And in regard to my purchase history, all of my Fictionwise books are at B&N, all of my Borders books are at Kobo, most of my Sony books are at Kobo, i.e., most of them are accessible. I just can’t get that exercised about it.
As for Kobo, it’s true that they announced at one point that they were going to cut off access to PDF purchases, and I did have some - I bought them because they were cheaper than the ePub/kepub (more fool me; at least that’s a lesson learned). But in the grand scheme, when I think about all the ebooks I’ve bought and how the overwhelming majority are still available to me, it’s a powerful argument to let it go. Even more so, now that there are so many fewer purveyors.
Ι figure the worst worst case scenario still gives me notice, and in the short to medium term, neither Amazon nor Kobo is going anywhere. Essentially, I’d rather be reading than fiddling.
