To quote myself:

Until BOb enlightened me I did have additional full copies of my library on all machines (Desktop = original + Dropbox, Laptop = Copy + Dropbox, Netbook = Copy + Dropbox). Now I've dropped the copies on my Laptop and Netbook (Desktop = original + Dropbox, Laptop = Dropbox, Netbook = Dropbox). My Desktop is backed-up constantly by Carbonite as well (and my Kindle 1 still holds all my Kindle books plus an FTP copy on my personal website that get updated occasionally).
Outside of Dropbox I have multiple other copies of my library.
