The only exception are the few books bought on Amazon. Here I don't even bother to remove the DRM. I read them directly and exclusively on my Kindle devices.

You don't delete the books from your Amazon account or your Kindle, but Amazon might. Did you read this post earlier in the thread?

We know that Amazon has the ability, and uses it, to delete books from people's Kindles and even to delete their Amazon account entirely. Your books are gone in that case (unless you have backed them up and removed DRM and permanently put your Kindle into Airplane Mode). People will say that Amazon doesn't close accounts unless you do something awful. It appears that buying a lot of dog food to donate is awful enough to trigger account deletion, if you believe the post quoted above.
I'm not saying that you should backup your books. I'm just pointing out that there are some scenarios where you might wish that you had. If you're OK with that small risk, no problem. Just be aware that it exists.
