Lol, I do that, too. In fact, the only time the actual discs are handled is when I rip them. Otherwise, family members just watch via Plex, Netflix, Vudu, Amazon or iTunes.

Alas, I can be somewhat lax when it comes to ripping new BD (although we do have a pretty decent selection of ripped movies already). Need to replace the 20TB server though. It seems amazing we have 10TB HDDs now.

I'd love to know what external drive you use, (if you use one) and what app to stream with. I've used DVD Catalyst before to rip a movie from a DVD, but never went any further with it. Any web sites you can recommend?

And checking now, I can still directly download the epub version.

Have you looked for the book in the library on the Kobo site? If so, you should be able to download the epub version and keep that.

Maybe my issue is just the Kobo reader app from Apple store.
On my both Ipad's (one 6 years old, and one bought this year) I have only the read option and no download for this book (all other books that I have I can download - or at least I have a download button - that I have no idea what is doing because I have no idea where it's getting downloaded - maybe in the cloud...) but when it's opening on my new Ipad the book it's empty.

I usually have 2 PCs running with 4TB drives each, so there's some movies on those (my favorites, that I like to rewatch). And I have a MediaSonic 4-drive box with 2-4TB and 2-2TB drives (eventually will end up being 4-4TB drives) connected to the main PC, and that's filled with movies and photos and other backups. It's not a NAS, it works just like a regular external drive, just allows 4 drives in it and they all can stream to the TVs.

On the PCs I have Serviio running as my DLNA server, and that streams the content directly to the smart TVs or to the Sony Blu-Ray players hooked up to each TV. The smart TVs and the Sony players are all wi-fi capable and connect perfectly to Serviio to play any content from any of the drives or any PC connected to my network. Some people prefer Plex as their DLNA server (I personally hate Plex with a passion), but you should check it out in case you prefer it.

Half my Kobo library is no longer for sale but I can still download every one of them.

As someone already said check your library even if there is no page selling the book it should be there in your library.
