Frankly, if I owned any other company's ereader and purchased any other companies ebooks to go with it, I'd remove the DRM for my own backup purchases no matter what. I don't trust any company long term. My biggest fear is change of format or a company going under. i.e. what good when a .amz file do you if Amazon were to stop business? What good will that amz file do you if you ever went for an epub based reader?
Those are more likely scenarios that can affect your long-term use of a purchased ebook. And, the reality is that it is something we are always going to face be it ebooks, music, video, etc in this computer based world.
Albeit that these types of issues are still unlikely to happen without any sneaky moves by Amazon or anywhere else or without the option to even prepare for the possible occurrence.
