Not "I do something completely different which may, or may not be what you really wanted me to do".
One is the way "Unix" behaves, the latter is Windows/Mac style (I stick to this analogy because I have read you enough to know you will get the analogy).

Indeed; it is not a coincidence that I prefer linux and also prefer that^^ choice.

Oh no, Kindle is not better at all, from the usability point of view: simply replace "close the book" with "display that annoying popup".
On the contrary: I suspect there are way more people that at the end of the book want to go back to the shelf, rather than people that at the end want to let the world know how they rate that book (and only if it is not a sideloaded one). So we might argue Kindle does even worse. On the other hand, it's easier to "recover" from the unwanted popup: go back where you are is just a matter of tapping the X.

Yeah, neither is ideal but at least the Kindle doesn't change things (reading position etc.) unexpectedly.
