Forever? Not exactly, from my understanding. Publishers can restrict the number of times an on-line book can be re-downloaded - that number could be a few times or even zero!

Relating to the above, for one seeking to retain a book indefinitely, strip off the DRM and save a copy or two on other different devices / media - that's the only way one can be truly be assured of being able to reload an on-line book forever.
