i have had my Kindle 1 since May. I have NEVER needed to reset it. Even still, reseting the device does NOT remove any books from memory. It is just like rebooting your compurer. You don't loose everything on your hard drive when you re-boot your computer, do you?
I think it is just as likely for the data on the SD card to get corrupeted or deleted as it is the main memory. Actually, the MAIN reason people loose data is not hard ware failure but user error.
Keep your books on a PC and transfer them over in the unlikely even that they somehow get removed from your Kindle. Or, redownload them from the Amazon media library, or feedbooks or whereever you got them in the first place. Lets face it, most of the sources we get our books from retain those books incase we ever need to d/l them again.
