Actually, backing up the entire /documents directory to an external drive/laptop via USB is equally (if not more) convenient than using an SD card plus internal memory. The /documents folder is easily copied to a replacement K2 or DX in seconds. However, if the K1 dies, you'll lose everything in main memory unless you've made the extra step of copying it to an external USB disk.

Of course, all of the above assumes solely non-DRM'd material. Any Amazon-purchased books will need to be re-downloaded to a new Kindle, due to the different PID.
