I want to be prepared if something were to happen to my Amazon account.
Call me silly but I would kind of chuckle if my Amazon account was hacked and I got a gift card from Amazon to buy back my old books. I really wouldn't have to do that and that would give me a lot of money to spend on new books and other fun things...

I remember when Sony changed the format of their eBooks from whatever it was (cannot remember name now) to ePub. Fortunately they gave us plenty opportunity to exchange them as the ePub versions became available, but some of mine never got reformatted into ePub. Amazon, or any store, could suddenly change formats like Sony did. We need to be ready and have our books liberated in case that ever happens. More recently the demise of Fictionwise caused me to lose a few books I could no longer liberate for whatever reasons.
