I could be wrong though...I've never experienced the problem. Of course I also leave wifi on almost all the time.
From what I have read about others' experiences and my own experimentation the triggers are:
  1. Having a book with a valid ASIN and EBOK cdetype on your device.
  2. Amazon does not have a record that says you are entitled to the book whether you did not purchase it from Amazon, it is an expired KU loan or whatever other reason.
  3. You have not connected to Amazon for an extended period (airplane mode, camping with no WiFi connections, whatever.
  4. Connect to WiFi and Amazon purges your device of what they seem to consider as illicit content.
