This is what I think happens as it makes the most sense from a design standpoint. The device has a database on it that I will called device_db. What format (sqlite, xml, etc) device_db is in is irrelevant. All books purchased from the store online, emailed to the device, or side-loaded have their meta-data read and stored in device_db. device_db is always synced to the cloud_db whenever you had a change (like a new file side-loaded) and connect via Wifi. device_db is probably the same database the library\reader on the device uses to display your selections.

The paranoia is strong with this one.
Your proof of the above statement is..?? A lot of "I think* in it. I'm more worried about Google's keeping a record of my searches (which by the way, they are) than the *maybe's* of what Amazon is doing.
As Elfwreck has tried to make you understand, the effort to monitor the *millions* of kindles out there is so great that Amazon is not reasonably going expend the time or bandwidth
