If I have read the descriptions of this given here that is not the case. A book can disappear so you cannot re-download it but it will still be on your device.

What seems to happen is that a set of command to be executed on the Kindle is generated when for example a change is done in the database at Amazon. So depending on what is changing different set of commands can be generated. So it is not a sync that is done. What is done is that the generated commands are executed and the effect can in some cases look like a sync.
