In the past 20 years I been burned so many times by digital content being taken away, that I don't purchase any digital content now unless I can download it & keep the files with no DRM.

Its already happened to me on Kobo where I got a book from the store & its since been removed from the store & auto-deleted from my device. I didnt even get around to reading it.
That's why it's a good idea to remove the DRM immediately after buying. I've bought thousands of ebooks in the past 15 years and have not lost a single one. They all reside in my calibre library, of which I have multiple backups.
