The end is nigh!
I actually agree.
Back in the PDA era, that is what I would do.
Saved me a lot of grief when MS Reader folded.
I never bought a mobi ebook until Mobi DeDrm came out. I ignored Kindle until it was cracked. I don't trust to the kindness of multinationals.
Amazon isn't likely to kill their golden egg goose by hardening the DRM completely but just because it isn't likely today doesn't mean they won't at some point in the next century.
Best practice is to buy, strip DRM, and archive the disinfected copy.
Belt and suspenders kind of thing, making sure you protect against the one in a zillion improbability.
