Anyway from what I understand (I think from having read it in another thread here), if you side-load content, Amazon can only see the metadata -- maybe even only the filenames, really. Not that they're incapable of pulling the whole file to see what you've got, just that they're not operating that way at the moment. As much as people already have a privacy bee under their bonnet, I think they'd really be opening themselves up to heavy criticism/scrutiny if they started actually inspecting (or even indexing) private content.
I for one wouldn't mind being able to opt in to having my private content sent up to the cloud -- I mean, still as my own files -- so that I could keep my place across multiple Kindles.

True. I think people fail to realize how vunerable they are just by being online, and posting in different places.
If you are on the grid......ANYTHING you do, anywhere you go online, anything your download is open to being seen by someone.......who wants to hard enough, whether it be the government, or a private citizen willing to pay the fees.
Amazon is the least of our worries.
