You don't have to worry about DRM yet. When Amazon turn off their ADE servers, and your booksellers have gone out of business, you'll find that DRM really annoying.
I have 1,249 ebooks I bought at Fictionwise between 2003 and 2012. The vast majority used MOBI DRM, and were downloaded for my registered devices.
Those devices have died long ago. Fictionwise has died. There's no way to download fresh copies, even if there were still devices that provided MOBI PIDs.
Without having removed the DRM I would be unable to read any of the 158 of those books I haven't read yet, nor could I re-read any of the others.
I do not believe a court would find that I had done anything illegal in removing the DRM from my personal copies.
