If it is downloaded and stored on your Kindle it is safe

As long as you still own your Kindle
As long as your Kindle is still operational
As long as you don't wish to read it on another device

or alternately

As long as a method to remove the DRM remains valid


Then you get into

As long as Amazon has kept their promise to store it in your Cloud archive (books disappeared a couple of months ago and Amazon said nothing to the buyers. It was up to them to discover the books were missing and then contact Amazon)

As long as Amazon is a viable company

and

as long as Amazon keeps their promise to never again remove content from a person's Kindle (a little like God and Noah and the Rainbow)


Much easier to strip as you buy and then back-up. Then you really don't have to worry so much about what Amazon is up to

(The term "Amazon" is pretty much inter-changeable with other retailers in this post. People can and have "lost" their books from other stores just as easily.)
