Thanks for the various replies and points of view. As for collecting that much data - GoogleMapping seems to have, ahem, "inadvertently" snooped on wifi as they were taking pictures (how does one accidentally grab wifi data while photographing neighborhoods?) so I'm sure Amazon has as much capacity as google.

I'm one of those who is not much into grocery affinity cards and my pictures are not generally x-rated nor my reading tastes but it is still something I wonder about.

I guess I get use to it or send the unit back. (.... slowly, I slip down that slope...)
