I agree that keeping a copy on your PC is a good idea, but these are insurance against Amazon getting out of the ebook business (which is unlikely - even though they have done this once before) and to allow you the option of switching to a non-Amazon ebook reader in the future.

No .... actually, you can register up to six Kindles to the same account. The books are keyed to your account, not a single Kindle. So, since I have a backup, it is very (very) simple to transfer the books to a second Kindle, and a third, and a fourth .... well, you get the idea.
