Bob,
Lets not forget the specific thread we are in; what if your Kindle was lost or damaged? If Amazon no longer supports the Kindle, you won't be able to get a new one or even a used one to work with your DRM'd kindle files. Sure, I am sure it would not be hard to break Kindle DRM, since it is similar to Mobi, but then you would be a criminal according to DMCA.
No DRM, then it is a simple matter of burning the books to a backup media, and if the format they are in is no longer supported, you can probably find a way to convert them to a new format.
