I may be very naive here but surely if I have 660 books on my Kindle and only 21 came from Amazon, and of the rest 600 of them are not published books (i.e fanfiction PDF's and word docs converted to MOBI using Calibre) how can Amazon know anything about them other than recognise that I have 600 personal documents?

I am not worried about them knowing any of this, just curious.

Also could they know anything about the ebooks purchased from other sites? I bought the Kindle eqivalent file, so MOBI or PRC, and loaded them via Calibre

I will be syncing via wifi and 3G, just for downloading anything I buy from Amazon.

Again I am not concerned, as everything I have is legal, just more curious than anything else
