What is being said is similar to what I've found. Many of the books I bought in 2012 and 2013 are gone from the cloud. Note this was after they went to the AZW3 format. They may do better with the new format overwriting the cloud but I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped at some date and said screw to earlier purchases.
I don't think you get it. You download from Amazon in KFX straight to your Kindle. Then you go to Amazon's website and download via USB download. Then you have a KF8 version for backing up. That is as long as you can strip the DRM (if the eBook has DRM). This is not about the cloud or Amazon holding onto your eBooks. This is about KFX not being a problem and being able to backup your purchased eBooks.
