Microsoft Closes Its eBook Store for Good

According to Microsoft Store official news, starting April 2, 2019, the books category in Microsoft Store will be closing. Unfortunately, this means that starting July 2019 your ebooks will no longer be available to read, but you'll get a full refund for all book purchases.

While you can no longer purchase or acquire additional books from the Microsoft Store, you can continue to read your books until July 2019 when refunds will be processed.

When Microsoft store closes its books category, your books will disappear too. Though those soon-to-be disgruntled readers will get full refunds, the shutdown serves as a reminder of the transience of the internet — and how even media people think they own can be deleted with the push of a button. So now you may think of backing up all of your purchased books in advance in case such shit happens again. That’s probably not as bad as it sounds considering most people didn’t even know that Microsoft sold ebooks. Since Amazon takes the biggest share on eBook market, if you don’t want such terrible things happen on you, you can start backing up your books from now on. For more detailed information, you can read the step-by-step guide about how to liberate your purchased Kindle, Kobo and Google Play Books.

After this incident, you should pay attention to your own purchased ebooks. Personally, I strongly suggest you back up all of your purchased books from now on.
