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.

Some uh people I know are doing that, yeah. Wouldn't that violate ToS though? I'm sure even without direct downloads, there will be ways to pirate Amazon books. I mean last time I checked, Netflix didn't let me download the video files but that doesn't keep people from pirating the content.

Does this make a big difference? Even if you have the ability to download the books from the website, they are still DRM protected, no?
