Books bought a long time ago (created the account last century)
Books not available on the high seas that were 50% cheaper on Amazon
Books from Humble Bundles

And who said anything about being surprised? Got my offline copies of all of them already, but can get another one.

You can also de-DRM the Amazon books with a Calibre plugin called deDRM. I recently did it to all my Amazon ebooks (had a lot for basically the same reasons as you, plus I worked there).
