As I routinely delete Audible's aa and aax files from my hard drive once I read a book, if I had relied on Audible's cloud, I'd apparently be out of luck. Happily, I convert and save the mp3 files.

This is why I don't trust the cloud.
I've had audible books disappear from my library, but especially from my wishlist. That's why I tend to go ahead and buy books even with a big to be listened to list.

My tend to buy in batches, so my normal process is
1) download the books.
2) copy the original to a backup directory
3) add books to iTunes.
4) remove DRM and put in a different backup directory
