The problem here and it's a HUGE problem is that unless you jailbreak your device, you are stuck relying on Amazon. I'd rather be able to back them up myself how I want. I don't want Amazon in the loop as far as backups go. So if I was to purchase an eBook from Amazon, I'd want it available on my computer to backup how I want. Also, I want access to the PID. If I don't have access to the PID, I'm not purchasing any eBooks from Amazon. So too issues, backups and PID. These need to be solved without jailbreaking anything.
