I like Amazon, too, but they are still a big corporation and big
corporations (as well as governments) do flaky things from time to
time. Remember the George Orwell "1984" incident about a year & a half
ago? Amazon found they sold a Kindle edition of the book they shouldn't
have and they went out and literally erased everyone's copy. That made a
real big stink, and certainly there was no little irony due to the book
involved. 

Like noted above, I'd probably use a personal cloud if the concept
takes off, but you'd still have a hard time prying my fingers off my
local copies.
