it's probably a violation for the vendor to even store your card data, without your explicit permission. ...
moving on - Amazon does not apply any of this card date nonsense to their protected books. the book is linked only to your amazon account, so unless you forget how to log into that your books will always be available on their servers. if you delete the book from your reader you can download a fresh copy, as many times as you like., & if you buy a different amazon reader you can link that to your account and access all your old books on your new device.
And your amazon account still works even if you delete all of your cards details ( you just can't buy anything new)
but then again Amazon don't sell epub & probably never will... Alf will teach you how to buy mobi & convert though.
otherwise you will face this expired card DRM hassle
every 3 years; no one issues cards with a longer than 3 year life & the trend is for that length to shorten, not lengthen, as card issuers like to bring out new cards with new features - like Visa's silly contactless payments "feature" thats just been added to mine.
so - you want to own a legal ebook for 30 years ( not unreasonable, as I'm sure we have 30 year old paper books in the house somewhere) - that's 10 pointless iterations of delete, download, upload... to have to go thru.
