For example, if you have a Kindle device that has Wi-Fi permanently turned off, you can still load books to it via USB. The Manage Your Content and Devices page at amazon.com allows download & transfer via USB of KU books. You can even return books from there when you are done with them. In that case I don't see how Amazon can know how much of the book was actually read.
What is to prevent you from load via usb, and never deleting, but returning nethertheless. Or resideloading after a sync? Would not think that Amazon would make it that easy. Shouldn't they have someone read this here and adjusting accordingly?
