I've done this but built my own server. Not sure what the better move would have been. I suppose I could still move things to a data center, but I like having it all local.
Where do you go for your ebooks? Do you also do audio books? Been looking to get on some private trackers.

Your own server is the best choice if possible. The cost of even mechanical hard drives has gone up so much, I'm not surprised people would turn to cloud solutions.
Yeah, I got in on it before the massive increases, I have a few spares too. I managed to get them on individual auctions. It's not going to pay for itself anytime soon, but nobody can delete my media now! Used enterprise drives are still an absolute steal for home servers.
