As I said previously, there's no guarantee cloud books will remain in the cloud. There have been quite a few news stories where books have been wiped from Amazon accounts and Amazon accounts been closed due to some form of violation of Amazon TOC's, yet the people with their books wiped or accounts closed believe they haven't.
In the past I used to buy books way back in 2000 from PeanutPress.com which turned into PalmDigitalMedia.com then eReader.com then sold out to B&N and all my 350 books were eventually deleted and I now have no access to any of them.
So yes it is possible that your books might get removed at some point in the future. After all, Amazon's TOC's do say you merely have a license to read the book, you don't own it. So a book can be removed at any point in time if suddenly a publisher decides pull it from the store or Amazon decide to pull it.
