Have you considered that by purchasing a Kindle through your Amazon account and with a credit/debit card of some ilk, that Amazon will in fact have a pretty good idea what you are reading? I used to think it was a lot safer to buy things like "The Communist Manifesto" and "The Catcher in the Rye" and the like with cash, but as I've gotten older I stopped caring. I really don't care who knows what I read. Just a thought.
