Unless you also remove the DRM when storing, you will need to re-enable the kindle app to read those books later... and if amazon disabled the account in the meantime, you wont be able to read the books.

The issue in this case is the legality of removing DRM...

Interesting. The issue with the kindle unlimited scams stems from Amazon employing a system (similar to Spotify) of pooling the subscription money to be allocated proportionally to the total pages read by subscribers during the month. The bots in this case simply boost page counts artificially.

One way for amazon to deal with this is to cap the page count contribution from each account. Another is to directly distribute each account's subscription money to corresponding books rather than pooling it across the board preventing the scam in the first place.
