Or are all of my ebooks from WTS Books now securely on my hard drive? I think that it is extremely unlikely that Amazon would make my library disappear, though, where I didn't (well, I don't now) with WTS Books.
I believe that you are talking about the Kindle for PC (or Mac) program opening your book. If so then it is only in the library of that app on that one device, stored as a file on your hard drive. Amazon isn't keeping it safe for you in this case.

You do have the option of adding e-books as a personal documents to your Amazon account where they will keep a copy for you and allow it to be downloaded to Kindle devices and apps on demand. This feature is convenient if you own Kindle devices, but I would still recommend keeping your own backup of the file. Oddly, for some reason Amazon does not allow you download personal documents to Kindle for PC/Mac.
