I will be careful about how I say this. The idea of trying to preserve a local copy of anything on DDB is either super impractical or against the ToS. Caveat emptor.
The aforementioned "print to PDF" is really not that impractical (For me, File->export to PDF, for each chapter you need for local reference. For the PDF-only books, that's not many, because they're small.)
Combining the pdfs into one file is trickier, but much less important for use in offline play.
I never said it was practical and "Caveat emptor" means "buyer beware", aka the buyer assumes all responsibilities for the quality of product purchased. That doesn't make sense in this context. If you're trying to obliquely say that when it comes to people printing to PDF they should do so at their own risk as it might violate ToS, well maybe they can read the ToS themselves or ask a mod.

No, I meant it in the most basic sense. Beware of buying any digital products on DDB because there is no guarantee you'll always be able to access them as you would with a pdf. And as I've said, there is precedent for digital services companies closing down and/or altering purchased content.
