Disclaimer: it's apparently against the Zon's TOS to create backups of your books. What you do with that piece of information is none of my business.

Good to know:

Whenever your kindle is online, the Zon can remove books on it without warning. (It already happened to Orwell's 1984 in 2009.)

How to back up your books from the Zon?

PSA: The Zon is removing your ability to backup your kindle books! So back them up while you still can.

Why would you want to back up your books?

Because technically you don't OWN the books that you buy on the Zon. You're buying a LICENSE to read them, and licenses can be revoked.
