I'm a little surprised to hear that you don't keep backups of the books that you've bought on your own PC as a matter of course.
Well, mainly because I seldom read the same book more than once. Anything in that category is probably in paper on my shelf. I did just go and back up the ones I have bought but not yet read, however.

I do use an offsite backup service, mainly for my personal photos
Of course, some offsite backup services (like Jungle Disk) use S3, which is, of course - Amazon.....

My big problem with offsite backup is bandwidth and bandwidth caps. I do lots of RAW format photos which are huge. I can only get 1.5 mpbs here (semi-rural). No cap yet but that may also come.... External SATA drive and a fire safe weekly for normal stuff and a DVD in the safe deposit every few months for critical stuff like financials.
