Can amazon see you collections?
Just a bit curious about this as a new kindle owner. I've been downloading a good few books and downloaded one load of books. Now these are meant to be free books but I noticed they aren't free on amazon. Should I avoid putting these on my kindle as I could be accused of pirating or something? Im a little unsure how it all works?
I am fine to convert whatever PDF's I have and read them on the kindle too? |

Their computers collate it all for profiling and advertising purposes, but I doubt anyone human will ever look through it. Not unless Amazon got hacked and all that data ended up on the web somewhere. Then all your neighbours would be smirking about what you read

Amazon is so all powerful that they can even see Kindle owners getting ready for bed.
