I've actually been looking into something like this to make (almost) sure that I can still use my books in the future. Therefore I'm also re-ripping all my music in FLAC format and save pictures in both DNG and Tiff. Also, I refuse to buy any software that I never intend to replace (mostly games) if they have any form of drm. Same with un-de-drm-able books. Yes, I'm quite anal about this.
