Even if you don't break the DRM, having the file is a guarantee that they con not modify the version of the book you payed for, or remove it from your library (both things had happened in the past).
True, but let's imagine newer Kindle devices or apps won't allow you to read the previously downloaded files anymore? And I'm aware DeDRM exists, but so do DRM-free book shops. It's not like I was okay to buy books from Amazon before, but now that they are getting rid of the download option, I will suddenly look for alternatives.
