Wait ... isn't this you doing exactly what you admonished me not to do when you said this:

How odd, indeed.
I agree that this new feature is cool. I can see lots of potential benefits. It would be nice if Amazon had considered some of their customers reactions more, before populating it with data. I'm sure there are others, like me, who considered Amazon's "delete" to be like local libraries (at least MY local library). I can tell my library to keep a history of everything I check out or not. If I tell them not to, they don't. Amazon is not like that, evidently.
Funny, even though my library doesn't keep a history of what ebooks I check out (per my preference), Amazon does. I switched from using AZW3 format for checked out books to EPUB a while back. That was done to save myself a few steps during the checkout process (it's slightly simpler for EPUBS the way I do it). But now I see there may be other benefits of checking out in EPUB format. But I guess I should go check Adobe somehow to see if THEY are keeping a history like Amazon! They certainly could be, for all I know.
