Besides II, it would take a thief with a truck and dolly to steal MY library.
Not 5 seconds and sticky fingers.

Technically, all they would get is the Kindle, because your books also reside on Amazon’s server. Once you buy a book, you can delete it and reinstall it as often as you like. If your Kindle is stolen, you can deregister it on the Amazon site, and the first time the thief activates th wireless connection, everything would be deleted. Of course, that only applies to actual Kindle format books, not other content, but you’d probably have that stored on your computer somewhere.
