As someone who was raised in an English-speaking country I would disagree completely with your assertion. That's not at all what "permanently delete it from your account" means to me: someone who understands the English language fairly well, I think.

If I cannot re-download it to any of my devices/apps (without buying/borrowing it again), it has well and truly been "deleted from my account." I don't expect the book to be removed from my order history, nor do I expect any reviews I may have given it to be removed. I would also expect to see a "You've purchased this book in the past" banner should I visit the book's page in the store in the future.

It certainly does not mean "purge any and all metadata pertaining to my purchase and/or reading of this book from our servers" to me. YMMV.
