It's not so much a privacy issue as a convenience issue for me. My books are in the archive I just don't use it. The archive was fine with 20 books. With 900 it's a nightmare to use to find the one book I'm looking for. I've got those 900 books condensed into 10 pages of catagories on my home page. Much more convenient than 90 pages of archive. Finding a nearby computer that I can use and using Manage My Kindle is not much better. That program is so klutzy I simply gave up on it long ago. Even assuming there IS a nearby computer I can use. My eyes aren't good enough to use the web access on my KK. At home I can use Calibre and I do, but I'm not always at home. Also there are a lot of problems with both Manage My Kindle and the Archive once your Archive grows much past a few thousands. Keeping Whispernet permanently off helps that problem. If I could use a SD card I could delete most of the books from my Archive/Amazon storage and just swap SD cards as needed and a large library would be no problem. Don't need Amazon for backup, I use Dropbox and a harddrive and a usb stick as well as my computer.
