Do you now understand why it's terribad when someone has access to your devices/buy history without your consent?
Yes but surely this doesn't just apply to the Kindle then? In the example you quote it could apply anywhere you purchase books or reading material full stop - and unless you pay by cash, payments methods can also be traced. My point is that if you're doing something illegal, you can be traced by a variety of methods - it's up to you whether you want to take that risk or not.
