The Right Way to Backup Kindle Books

Because all Kindle books have been protected by Kindle DRM, you cannot access these books without your account authorization.
Therefore, the correct way to back up your kindle books is removing Kindle DRM to get the DRM free books. If you have the DRM-free Kindle books, you do not have to worry about computer crash, Amazon account banned issues, books disappeared from Amazon account etc.
