There is also the issue is "Send to Kindle" a genuine private "cloud storage" system? What access does Amazon's marketing and book systems have to the ebooks that are emailed? Does the service infringe copyright or privacy laws? Amazon's Ring system certainly infringes privacy laws in many countries because they share information with police without a warrant.

You'd not want to use "Send to Kindle" if you lived in a country with an oppressive regime or dodgy TLAs. What Amazon does with the files is opaque as is their security and privacy.
And Jacques could have his account shut down by Amazon without any notice.
