It is my understanding that this is for their subscription service, not an ordinary purchase: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G201541130

Since I keep my Kindle in Airplane Mode 100% of the time, Amazon must think that I never read any of the books that I purchase. I guess Amazon keeps all my money for themselves - screw the authors. This isn't fair to the authors, but I am under no obligation to allow my Kindle to connect to the internet. If the authors aren't paid because of that, that's an issue they should take up with Amazon, not me.
