Re: Won't lose books
The books I buy from Amazon aren't "cloud-based", they are on my PC, and on my Kindle. The WiFi on my Kindle is never turned on, so Amazon have no access to them.
Amazon do have the power to delete books if they have access to a Kindle, and on one well-known occasion they were forced by the courts to put deleted books back, but if they go titsup they won't be there to use that power anyway. There's absolutely no reason for anyone to worry that Amazon going bust will make any Amazon purchases disappear.
