That's what Amazon's lawyers would argue. But if it walks and quacks like a duck? Also see comment about "personal documents".

Why no easy to use local converter from pdf/doc/docx/mobi/epub/azw3 to KFX on Mac/iOS/Android/Windows/Linux?
Why do you have to send pdocs to Amazon? Can we have a 3rd party audit of what they do with those user docs which might private, copyright, secret or whatever?

You can even run local copies of an LLM.
