I have never been as careful and delicate with my kindle as I was during that week, seeing as it held probably the only copy of my library at that point
Back up, back up, back up.

I have my library on a Sony reader and a spare. It is in Calibre on my desktop and my laptop. And backed up on at least one external hard drive.

NO way I want to have to recreate it.
