I agree PDF is a bad choice. But DRM free mobi is as good a backup choice as any. Sure, it might be better to obtain the more open epub format in the first place, but why bother converting? There's plenty non Amazon software support for mobi, and I'm trying to envision the bizzarely specific future apocalypse scenario where mobi could not be read, but epub (or PDF) could. Stranded on a desert island with no software but 7zip and a text editor?
