You can back up your Kindle books. I think most of the new ones have DRM, 
but the classics (that Amazon gives you for free) have bunches of readable 
words in them (like, Arabian Nights has Knight and Dog and Sand and stuff 
like that amongst the gibberish) so I'm assuming that one isn't encrypted.

But you can trivially copy everything off the kindle, reset it back to 
factory defaults, and copy the files back on and everything works fine.

Altho I admit I haven't bought a DRMed book yet, so I couldn't guarantee 
anything there until I do.
