I noticed the same thing about the kindle not deleting books when I was using Kindle Library Lending. I had 30% of the book left, and my loan was up, but I never left the book. I could turn the kindle (e ink version) on/off just never went to the front page. Finished book, went to front page and it was deleted. It's actually quite refreshing to see the choice being made on the side of the consumer for once.
