If they dump people's libraries they'll lose any goodwill the shift to ePub has created.
I really don't see any issue there. LRX books are tied to an account, not to a device. As long as people maintain a personal backup of their books (which any sensible person does) there's not a problem, even if they stop being downloadable from the Sony site.
