Maybe what Amazon is interested in doing is demonstrating that Amazon will not harbor unauthorized ebooks, and will not become a kind of defacto Pirate Bay. This could be a matter of maintaining the trust and goodwill of publishers and copyright owners in general.

How could they possibly know if the eBook on your machine purchased elsewhere could be unauthorized? There is no method. This should not be a concern.
