Can we say "Just copy the document folder from the kindle onto your computer's disk" and copy it to the next PWx later? Any sideloaded documents (without DRM) would be fine. Any documents WITH DRM -- including most from Amazon -- would not allow you to open them later. BUT for those, you could just delete that local copy, and re-download from the cloud. It's tedious, but wouldn't it work to some degree? If the user doesn't want the time/effort of using Calibre.
