will Amazon tamper / delete non-amazon books side-loaded with Calibre?
Hi everyone

I'm sorry for the newbie question. I am considering buying a Kindle 3, and have also just installed Calibre to my mac (wow - what a great program).

I would like to load some books that I did not buy from Amazon, onto the Kindle, using Calibre.

If I connect to Amazon via wifi to buy a book, will Amazon scrutinize what I have loaded on to the Kindle? If so, will it delete / disturb / or make a record of my whole library, including non-Amazon books?

Also, some mobilereaders seem upset about the Kindle updates. Is it because Kindle updates render their side-loaded books unreadable?

Any help is very appreciated!
