Are you really advocating that we break Amazon's term's and conditions?

I don't see anything wrong in saving a copy of a book you have purchased from a vendor (no matter which one) for your own use. If someone were to download and (after breaking the DRM) put it up in a torrent file that would be different as that would be taking $ out of the pocket of the author but if you do it just to have a functional copy for a back up for your own use after purchase you aren't doing that. You are still the only one with access to that copy of that particular book. And what if you buy a book from a vendor be it Kobo or Amazon for example and it turns out they made a hash of the formatting (as some have posted in other threads sometimes happens)? Is the buyer supposed to just grin and bear it? That did happen with a book I bought from Kobo. I'm not sure how many errors in the TOC there are but I found at least one chapter hadn't been tagged properly so the TOC skips over that chapter and since it's a multi part book (4 parts) with multiple chapters in each section that kind of error can make navigation difficult. Not all books have covers that fit properly either. Sometimes the cover is up in the left hand corner of the screen and on the right and the bottom there is a large field of white. That's if the cover itself downloads with the file in the 1st place as sometimes that seems to be missing as well.
