Theoretically yes. And Amazon is such a big company, the chances of them going down are remote.

No.
My main reason for stripping DRM is simple: I want to be able to read that book on various devices, using various formats.
If you only have a Kindle, and only can imagine you reading on a Kindle, your main reason for stripping DRM would be purely for back-up purposes. You can still download the book via whispernet, but you'd also have a copy, safe from Amazon, which you can sideload if, for some reason, the book dissapears from your Amazon account.
