They can't remove content from the reader. First, the one time they did it caused an uproar. Second, there is no way for them to know if you may have side-loaded content you created yourself or obtained somewhere else legally, and then converted (if necessary).
If they'd try to FORCE you to use Amazon-only content and FORCE you to rely on the cloud, they'd create a Kindle without a USB-port, with just enough storage to hold maybe 10 books or so, and without a "send to Kindle" option.
Also, Amazon doesn't even know if my reader is on, or not. It's always in Aeroplane mode. Even if that mode was taken out, I'd just block it using my Wifi router. More probable would be me jumping ship to another reader.
