If you plug your Kindle into your computer, you'll notice there's a FOLDER for every single book. That folder contains several files related to the book. When a book is returned, the AZW file (the eBook) is deleted from the device, but the rest of the files remain.
Usually when you delete a book, the rule is if it's from the Kindle Cloud, the .sdr sidecar folder is deleted as well, since the data should be saved on the server. If the book was sideloaded, it will first ask you to confirm you want to remove it, then delete only the file, not the sidecar folder, so you can still reload the book and have your notes.

Are you saying you can confirm that Prime books act in this regard like sideloaded books?
