I can        "store" the file on Adobe Digital Editions (on the pc) or copy        them over to the Kobo. There is no process that would        automatically make those files go away.              However, if you were to lose your offline storage and wanted        to refresh the purchases (much like how iTunes maintains        purchases), then the seller can arbitrarily delete the source        file or modify it so that you get a different edition.                      AA>> I have a shop of 10,000+ pieces to select from anyway!        AA>> :)               SH> I'd never get anything done. :)              Lately, most of the time it has been hard to motivate and get        "work" done. The shelves could be half-empty and I'd probably        feel the same way. I'd rather read a book or watch a film.       --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.47        * Origin: Mobile?
