1) I agree, logs are too big to be routinely transmitted.
2) Just to confirm, there was no SSL packets when leaving the Kindle idle, only the periodic DNS and UDP I described.
3) A while ago, I did trace externally when you powerup/wakeup/sync the Kindle and have seen the SSL encrypted traffic with the "todo" amazon server. Nothing such here.

@FF2
Yes, something could possibly be encoded and conveyed to Amazon, but it is so small (149 bytes), and it is always the same data from one packet to the other. Definitely no extensive logs for spying on us. I am not going to worry about it.
