Ahem.

While it is nice to retain the view that the eBook seller is not an eternal bookshelf (such a viewpoint of course protects you from unpleasant future surprises) this view is NOT how Amazon's advertising to the consumer is oriented. At least not today.

Your Kindle Library Content

We have created a library for you on Amazon.com. We make books and periodicals you purchased from the Kindle Store available in the library for re-download wirelessly from your Kindle or from the Manage Your Kindle page. You can keep your own back-up of your content by saving a copy to your computer or another storage device.

Amazon also backs up annotations you make in books you purchase from us so that they will be available to you if you re-download the content from your library. Amazon.com does not back up personal documents, MP3s, or other content that you download or transfer from your computer to your Kindle which you have not purchased from the Kindle Store.


Amazon makes exceptions for periodicals and does mention in its blurb those items will eventually disappear...

Only recent issues of newspapers and magazines and recent blog entries remain available in your library for re-download.
