    It’s possible to remove DRM from books using software like calibre and thats not even getting into how easy it is to pirate due to the small filesize if you ever need to recover a lost book. Then you can back it up and copy onto other storage devices and the cloud which in some ways makes the digital copy more long lasting than a physical book.

      You can lose your back up, but you can also lose your book. It doesn’t change my feelings on the subject. There are physical copies of books that are hundreds of years old and still readable, I have some from the 50s that are in great condition. Take care of them and they will last.
