3. Sync doesn't work for ebooks not in Amazon library. Send to Kindle wastes bandwidth and gives Amazon a copy.

4. Sync doesn't work on current device if the prior device wasn't recently online and synced.

5. Sync doesn't work unless all the devices have Internet access at appropriate times.

6. I know loads of people that have Kindle ereaders or app, and none sync or use Send To Kindle.
I know plenty of people that use it and it's a really common reason why someone won't switch. You can see it on this site and reddit. A lot of people like reading at home on the Kindle and maybe squeezing in a page or two using the app on their phone while waiting in line for coffee or some other place they have a brief moment.

And wastes bandwidth?

What year is it? 1995? Even with my crummy data plan I would not care about uploading a 1MB book or two. And at home, random coffee shops, etc. there's basically no limit.
