That's what many of us recommend, sure enough. However, speaking for CURRENT Amazon books, there is no 'phoning home' for DRM access, so as long as you don't lose your key or serial number, the books you downloaded up to now can be stripped of DRM at anytime, even if Amazon and it's servers vanish today.

Sort of like DVDs. Once you have the disk, the tools that work on it today will work forever....future schemes will not come in and change the stuff you have in hand.

That being said, stripping immediately is the best advice.
