If you buy only unenecrypted stuff or convertible stuff and make it html/rtf and back it up on a cd or external drive as I do, I am pretty sure you will be able to read your e-books whenever you want.
If you must buy a locked-in, non-convertible book (something I never found necessary), you can get a good snag program, write a script to turn the pages and snag automatically on your pc screen and ocr like a regular scan.
Anyway, personally I never touch an e-book (even if free and I am not joking I saw free encrypted books) that I cannot have as an html/rtf file.
