Same thing I was thinking, and what I've always done

Yes...and as I've mentioned, I did that, so I do have the books from Baen...but I have them in the .mobi format. I found out that I no longer had access to them because I went back to download them in .epub format.

Is there any reason you can't convert them to epub using Calibre? I did that with all my old .prc books I used to read on my Palm.

Converted mobi is almost never as good as an original epub. Some of the formatting is lost, as mobi doesn't support several epub features.

And go back to Baen and download any eBooks you can in ePub.

Just a thought, are you logging in when you go to Baen and selecting downloads from the menu after logging in?

You should see all your titles there, even those ones no longer available.

Have you contacted Baen about this? It wouldn't hurt to see what they have to say about this issue.

Amazon may have negotiated a better licensing deal with on those books than Baen did on its.

I don't know. Amazon can afford to keep storing, and Baen can't or doesn't want to? Total speculation.

eta: As Apache suggested, ask Baen.

Maybe different contract (or contract not being followed).
