If I had to reformat the C: drive (boot drive) in windows as a reinstall of win7 or install of "win 9" next year, will I need to re-download the kindle books again? I don't see any way to have the books downloaded to a different & "safer" place as in another drive; no configuration of the Kindle app that I can see.

I will be doing the DeDRM for Calibre to reformat to epub then to my Nook HD+ & Nexus 7 where I will do the reading using the Aldiko reader. At this point, I will still have the ebooks & hopefully won't need to reference the books that may no longer be on the reformatted drive.

Never liked the way B&N handled their books in the Nook 1st edition in separate places for B&N books & books from other vendors. Amazon looks to be doing the same thing!

But the biggest problem is to have everything stupidly installed on the boot drive which will be reformatted when doing a "clean" install of a new OS (or reinstall of an old OS).
