Has anyone figured out anything yet about what kind of information on our reading habits our kindle shares with amazon and how?
This is really bothering me. I mean, the folks at amazon obviously know which ebooks I buy from them. Yet I'm not that confortable with them knowing possibily anything I do on my Kindle, such as my reading speed or how many notes I take while reading, my bookmarks and highlights, last page read, which ebooks I sideload on my device, etc.

I guess that a jailbroken device could allow you some kind of control over these data. Is anybody working on this?
