A lot of that posting is FUD ("fear, uncertainty, and doubt"). I'm amazed at how many people pick up on the "spying" aspect of the Kindle. The people who post that stuff have no clue. You can turn off the wireless and use it fine. I downloaded one book directly to the Kindle, and have since had the wireless turned off. As near as I can tell, you never even need to use the wireless. You can buy books online, download them to your computer, and transfer them over USB.
