You missed the second part of my post. Why not just turn off wireless? Why go through the troubles of host redirection and stuff.

If you just want to read books, start with this one:
George Orwell, 1984
Beyond that, I will only say I believe it should be the owner's choice of if/when/what activity of theirs gets reported to someone else.

You don't have to condescend to me. I've read 1984 before and I know a bit about how the kindle works. My main question is: if you don't trust the device and don't care for the Internet features, why not just turn off the wireless?
