As long as you keep WiFi turned off, those books will remain on your Kindle.

I can see lots of people doing this - sign up for a month, read freely for 3+ weeks, download 10 books, turn WiFi off, then cancel service. Several months later, repeat the process. If one has a second Kindle, then all the better. That would free up the primary Kindle to be used with WiFi.

How Amazon would react to such a scenario is anyone's guess.
