If that was his point, then he didn't make the point very well. He makes it sound as if the second Amazon goes poof .... your library goes poof as well. And, that is simply not true.
Add that to the fact that a lot of your Kindle library could be non-DRM'd books from .... oh, say here, for example .... and his point (if that is his point) becomes even more obscure.
And, as a point of fact .... if my books are backed up (as they are), and Amazon goes belly up, no one is going to be there to enforce Amazon's DRM, are they?? So, who exactly is going to give a crap if I break the DRM on my Kindle books?? Amazon??
