There is a long history of such strategies. Many OS handle file deletions by removing the directory entry and marking the storage blocks as available.

You may be right, of course.
Actually I don't even remember what the EBOK tag was for and why it was necessary - something to do with covers not showing? No idea, it's been more than a decade since it was discussed in detail, and I no longer have a modern Kindle to test things.
