Honestly though, there are a lot of Kindles out there, I can't imagine it would be worth their time to really care what's on yours.

Least you got asked, my call involved them mentioning how displeased they were with me eating my tea on the couch in front of the TV and not at the table with the Kindle.
To the OP, I doubt they really care. Amazon care about what they have sold you and adhering to their agreements with their suppliers/publishers (ie: not selling geographic restricted ebooks to non-authorised countries). At worst if anything that *could* take a list of ebook files on my reader, but as many know, the file name doesn't always match the content. I highly doubt they'd copy all your data to them given (a) the number of Kindles there'd be too much data, (b) someone would have noticed excessive usage, (c) it has been point out on the net multiple times the info Amazon send back to them, and (d) would Amazon really care if you had copyright infringed work on your Kindle? provided they didn't sell it to you they have no interest in it.
From memory Amazon collect (and this is for ebooks purchased through Amazon) the ebook you are reading, your current page (I honestly forget the rest but this information is used for syncing your reading across multiple devices).
