Amazon keeps track of what you've bought and if you wipe it out you can download it again. You can de-authorize devices and authorize a new device--cell phone or Kindle, PC or whatever--and download old books you want to re-read on the new technology.
Personally, I can't think of a reason to strip DRM from Kindle books. |
Personally I like the idea that I can change e-readers and move my library without any worries. Because I bought the books and should be able to read them on any device that I want. Because I want to be able to mess with the meta data so that the books are easier for me to find on my Kindle.
Mainly because I think DRM is silly and I don't like that the Publishers want to control where I read the books that I buy.
