 Sorry to interrupt the flow of political rants, but there are ways of
 backing up and de-DRMing Kindle books using an older version of Kindle
 for Windows, Calibre eBook reader and a couple of plugins.

 I backed up all of my Kindle books before they removed the ability to
 do so earlier this year and back up books I download incrementally.

 It's preferable to purchase ebooks from vendors who don't apply digital
 rights management or sell you a "license to use" a book.
