Yep. The worst they, or the publishers, could do is civil action which wouldn't be very worthwhile. Unless they can demonstrate that you redistributed books, they can't argue that you caused much damage. They may suspend your account I suppose, but even that would be a PR nightmare. If they were tracking your non-Amazon documents on your device and people found out, it would be an unwelcome scandal. So while they have the technical ability to do these things, reason dictates it would be pretty foolish. They just don't stand to gain that much.
