This will work if you reload it onto the
same K2. If your K2 breaks and Amazon replaces it (for example) then you will have to redownload all the ebooks from the Amazon servers.
In most cases Amazon will keep a copy of all your ebooks purchased from them on their servers (or actually a database entry that you own the ebook and can download it). The reason for saving your own copy is because anything can happen to Amazon given enough time or to an individual ebook (e.g. the publisher can pull it from Amazon). Also if you have a copy, and the PID for your K2, then you can always strip the DRM later if you need to. Note that so far even if a publisher pulls an ebook, my experience has been that you can still redownload it to an existing Kindle, but I doubt that you can then download it to a new Kindle. In any case, the general rule is don't trust a DRM provider - they always screw you in the end.
