Diddle them at your own peril.

This doesn't give Amazon the right to delete books off my device without my consent. That's an unforgivable breach of user privacy. They can try to disable those additional features for sideloaded books if they want, but it's not their business to dictate what should be on my device and what should not.
Note I no longer use a Kindle for my ereading; this is a theoretical discussion for me. So "my device" here means a theoretical device, not an actual one.
