I suspect Amazon could detect at least some pirate copies. But I doubt they bother to try. There is no gain for them in reporting such copies to the authorities, particularly not when doing so would involve such huge and very public privacy issues. I suspect their main focus at this level would be more on Amazon v. non-Amazon purchases. |

My Kindle is permanently in airplane mode since a few months back, and I sideload all books. Mostly because I like organizing my library on my computer, but also because when I have tried syncing to get my periodicals, some books have disappeared while syncing! These are sideloaded books, and it is always the same around 30books that disappear off my Kindle Oasis 2 when I test syncing. Very strange. Some are purchased from Amazon, some Gutenberg books and some bought in other formats and converted.

So ... you're worried that the ebook police are gonna come knocking on your door? There are probably more important things to worry about.
If you're really concerned about Aunty Amazon's capabilities to spy on you, maybe Kobo is a better solution. Kobo, too, syncs your device but they're a lot more polite and less aggressive about it. It's a Canadian thing. |
