But let's be clear. If it's an Amazon book, and Amazon goes out of business (admittedly, not terribly likely right now), then their archive of your book is suddenly gone.
Personally, I dislike DRM intensely. But I also have zero qualms about removing it, and do so on every single book I buy. The day someone creates a DRM plan for Amazon that I can't remove, is the day I stop buying books from them.
I also think the OP misses the very real marketplace of DRM-Free books out there. Currently, well over half of the books in my Calibre library started out as DRM-Free. And that percentage holds true for those marked "ToBeRead".
I think refusing to buy a reader because of DRM is frankly "cutting off your nose to spite your face".
