That would only be a viable option if you don't plan on reading on the device. The PW1 would also be a good option to remove DRM from future purchases. This will continue to work even if Amazon takes the download option completely away (unlikely) or forces KFX on newer models (more likely). As long as it is possible to buy books on the PW1 (or buy on computer and send to PW1), you can then plug the PW1 into the computer and move the new books into the main library directly in calibre.
