I noted: that the 2 titles on that list that I had purchased are no longer available to me for download.
Remember to keep your own backups. This could happen anytime to any book source and is beyond their control. |

I have downloaded all the books I bought there, but the ones I still had on my wishlist are almost twice the price and geographically restricted at other places :-(

not just download, but keep backup somewhere safe
who knows if they do not actively and silently erase from your devices... Now, that is something I don't understand: can't they tell the rights holders who bought the ebooks? why should I have any less rights to the ebook I bought from some publishing house when the rights holders quit business with them? who can save us from cruel companies?... |

I only have two on the list (the Foglio books) and I have active copies on two readers.
I'll make sure to store a few extra backups. Thanks for the head's up. Last edited by fjtorres; 08-21-2013 at 05:53 PM. |

Because, this makes me not want to deal with the new publisher. |

The publisher still links to the books (at least the ones I checked) at Baen for people who want to buy, even though they had them removed from sale.
