You do realize that you can save Amazon books to your computer if you want. It is convienent to have them in the archive but most Kindle owners have a copy saved on their computer hard drive as well. So that if the great hand of Jeff Bezos reaches in to take all of our e-books out of the archive we can simply reload them because we saved them on our hard drives.

Yes, but unless you de-drm that copy, it will work only for the devices it have been downloaded for. Reinstall windows and kindleForPC, oh, damm, the copy will not read on the pc anymore. You need to register the new kindle for pc to amazon, and download the book again.
It's less problematic with ADE, the copy is registered to you adobe account, and will be usable. install ade, register it, import books into ade, send to new device. Adept is crap on lots of aspect, but not that one.
But even there, i de-drm for my peace of mind. So my books are really mine.
