Kindle Privacy
This has been discussed a bit in other threads, but none of them really answer this specific question:
I was reading an article stating that Amazon has the right to report the information they've collected from your Kindle "in non-aggregate form" to law enforcement and litigants, as well as for internal use.
What exactly does this mean? If you have a pirated book they just report you to the police? This is a somewhat scary notion, since having looked at what the kindle sends to amazon, it seems to include location, pages read, etc etc.
Has anybody watched the movie Se7en? SPOILER:
The book reading habits are what lead Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt to the murderer!
Does this mean I shouldn't read Helter Skelter on my Kindle? (note: i don't even know what that book is, and am too lazy to google it at the moment, i just remember it's one of the books morgan freeman mentions is flagged). Is there a hack for the latest Kindle 3 software that lets me turn off the big brother-ness of the Kindle without risk of bricking or damaging it?
