Actually, the worst that can happen is Amazon will change its DRM, block downloading of retrievable files and/or put ebooks downloaded to a Kindle device in a hidden directory. Not that I think any of this is going to happen. Then again, I didn't think it would happen at Barnes & Noble either. (Yes, severely burned here and wary as a result.)

Sure hope you're right, but how do you know this?
I'm not trying to pick a fight, btw. On the contrary, I'm looking for reassurance that Amazon isn't going to pull any boneheaded BN moves.
