For purchased books, it is different. If you remove the book (status shows as "Download") it is still counted. That is to do with the details of the books still being in the database. If you finish it on another device or app, I do not believe it will be included counted on all of them. I haven't played with this enough to be sure what happens.
Thanks for the answer.

I currently have over 900 books on my e-reader (I'm downloading books faster than I read them). I'm not hurt for space (even on "only" 8 GB) but I don't think I'll keep the books I've already read.
