Well, since you ask, I swap out one of my back-up SD cards. I am not saying SD cards are any better back up than anything else. I am just saying that if a Kindle dies, you have absolutely, positively, lost anything that is side loaded and not backed up. If a Kindle dies, you will also have to go through the process of reloading and re-collecting everything that is not Amazon.
With my other readers, I never lose anything and in the event of a reader death, a card swap takes a minute. Kindle will always take me a lot more time to restore and adds a level of risk that requires additional back up. Not a deal killer, obviously, just an annoyance.
