K, they could conceivably upload what you've put on there (it would cost them data rates) why would they bother?

They could reduce these rates with MD5 sums or some similar method (but these will change because people convert, and each conversion method yields different sums)

Do they even have a legal right to invade your privacy of what you put/store on the device (your personal documents) IDK read the TOS.

How can they tell that you didn't buy a novel in a different format and sideload it to USB? There is no way to know that a converted EPUB to mobi you purchased legally is not an illegally downloaded book.

Bottom line - amazon could care less about piracy if they are making $$
