I do buy the idea that Amazon does this because the Kindle's device/firmware sometimes forgets that sideloaded books don't have to have the same metadata/information, than the books they have at their store, which results in the Kindle go crazy and nuke the documents folder (even the ones with a correct ASIN metadata).
And maybe it's something similar with the bought books... the Kindle's software confuses itself with mismatched synced data with one or two books, and instead of fixing it accordingly, it takes the fastest option which is for some reason, the nuking option?
Amazon should know this issue by now, and maybe they do, and don't want to fix it to further lead people to only have a clean only-Kindle library, something like "urghh! this happened because of those damn sideloaded books". I mean yes, there are people who still have their entire library wiped, despite having only-bought Kindle books, but that passes off mostly as a "whoopsie"... but since most people have one or two sideloaded books on their Kindle, it will likely make people think the former.
To me, it wouldn't sound that far fetched.
Do we know if this also happens with unregistered Kindles?
