IF (and thats a might big "IF" ) you had the foresight to strip the drm and back them up on your computer, sd card, carbonite, or whatever.
I'm not terribly computer proficient and haven't tried drm removal yet. I do think it necessary to back up all my book purchases on my computer instead of relying on downloads from Amazon. in the event I need to I'll have all the files and tackle DRM removal then.

Will I need to? I doubt it, Amazon is the 'Walmart' of internet shopping. They'll be doing this for sometime to come. Will a 'Target' come along and push them? Yes, I hope so.
