Seems good on paper, but what if your tablet is stolen/damaged/lost?

What if your $150 paper textbook is stolen/damaged/lost? Or your backpack with three books in it?

someone's more likely to steal a tablet than a couple of textbooks. Books are more easily replaceable.

I have had my backpack stolen, with all my text books. both situations carry the same weight, and tablets may be cheaper to replace if its more than one book. Also most DD services let you redownload all material you've bought through your account. Not sure about itunes but i would hope its the same. Its not that they want your books, but a backpack is easy to steal.
