Amazon doesn't decide what's on your kindle, especially books from Gutenberg or bought on Smashwords.
Download to PC and Transfer via USB from Calibre and they can't delete them either, if you do ever turn on WiFi.
TBH, I'd worry more about MS & Google, than the Kindle. Though it's true Amazon wants a monopoly of paper & ebook sales online.
Adobe DRM "spies" on ereaders. So does Kobo, unless you never connect, they sync even when sync is turned off.
Buy a Kobo because you want one, not out of paranoia of Amazon deleting books, which is easily avoided.
I don't trust anyone's cloud for anything. I have backups of everything.
