Minor nit: Can you offer any proof that your statement that anybody/everybody else is true? Note that even one other person not using WiFi will render your statement false. Given that more than one person has complained about sideloaded books being deleted when WiFi is turned on suggests that your statement is false and there is a probably small but not nonexistent number of people who do not normally use WiFi with their Kindle eInk devices.

Also, please no more dragging of red herrings about reading on other devices such as phones, tablets, computers, other manufacturer's eInk ereaders, etc. into this discussion.

Sadly, that is a theory at this point with no concrete evidence suggesting that it is true. While I agree it seems likely as the explanation, it's not tested and proven.
