Like others, I have chosen to remove the DRM from ebooks I have collected to facilitate cataloging my ebooks as well as to convert them for use on both my Kindle and iTouch.
I recently went through a long investigative process on my K3 wifi because the battery seemed to be failing. Although I had several discussions with Amazon over the large amount of 'personal documents' on my Kindle, (as all books from sources other Amazon are pegged) Amazon freely offered a replacement for my K3. This leads me to believe that at least for the present, they are complacent about un-DRm'd books being loaded on a Kindle, as I obviously even had books on my Kindle purchased from Amazon that were suddenly DRM free.
Obviously, no one knows how long Amazon will be tolerant of this action, but since they are still losing market share to ereaders able to access public library books, I suspect they are realistic about how users are using their Kindles.
cheers
