I suspect it uploads a batch file each time it connects. I guess you could never connect and sideload everything but then you lose some features, like whispersync, same collections management?
I would not be bothered with Amazon knowing how long I spent on each page of each book, the paranoia case is if they are forced to hand that data to some intelligence agency to use as profillng evidence.
Also, I guess the detailed reading data is only good for books bought from and downloaded from Amazon, not for sideloads of converted epub, for example.
