In theory it could, but the general wisdom is not to rely on any store to keep your books for you long term. Most folks around here keep their own backup copies.

what is the best way to make the backup copies... you mean put it on an external drive ?

Download the DRM epub version of the books you bought from Kobo, and store them on your computer (or an external drive if you want). You can download the DRM epub versions from the book page on the kobobooks.com site.

I put all my books in Calibre on my computer. That way, I have a backup on a different machine.

Than I make a backup on a network drive, and back that up on an external USB-drive.

I would prefer if Calibre on the computer could be combined with the networkdrive, but due to updatingproblems that does not work (the networkdrive does not have a driveletter).

These local copys (combined with something about DRM) make sure that I will be able to keep reading these books, whether Adobe, Kobo or any bookseller/servicesprovider keeps providing it's services or not, of course provided that the epub-file-format is staying alive. I'm guessing that otherwise, after a conversion, that would not be a problem too.

Where abouts in the world are you? You might have a local who's also on this forum who'd be willing to show you.
