Likewise, I do the same. I only buy multiformat books from Fictionwise (HarryT finally convinced me to give Fictionwise a try and I haven't been disappointed yet). When it comes to downloading the books, I always download the LRF and ePub versions. However, because I have a Sony 505, I load on my reader the LRF file.

But I don't know that next year I won't switch to, say, the Plastic Logic device (assuming it offers ePub compatibility; I won't switch to any device that doesn't). Having the ePub files stored on my computer will give me an option for the next few years.

And although I dislike the ragged-right margin, I'd rather have that and be able to read my books than to have to repurchase books.

So, what to do? Download both formats.
