I donloaded abook into kindle for PC , opened book, cloed program. went to amazon, manage my kindle, deleted that book from my owned books ibrary.
reopened kindle for PC - book was still there. forced re-sync - book was still there. ( i expected the book to vanish after a forced sync - but I was wrong)
I did not test un-register/ re-register of the software,
a proper version of that test would be to populate the kindle-for-PC app with a mix of bought books , downloaded free Amazon samples, & side-loaded calibre conversions, then un-register, close, open, check, re-register, close, open check...
I did not test library loans. The
borrow a book for free because you are an Amazon prime member wil not send said book to PC app. I did, just as a challenge, puzzle out where a free prime loan book goes on Kindle Fire & it is placed into some very obscure folder - DRM free, but I am not going to give the folder location a) 'cos I've forgotten it b) 'cos it could be construed as a piracy aid.
but at one book max per calendar month that would have to rank was one of the slowest piracy exploits ever found
My UK library/ overdrive does not do kindle books. I did once loan one through my USA FLP library membership & that did get delivered ( via amazon.com) to my Kindle-for-PC, but that has been returned already
