The Amazon Kindle (and the Amazon site) is a completely voluntary opt-in product. Nobody is forced to shop from Amazon and nobody is forced to buy Kindle books. Amazon not only knows "what I read." They have years of data stored on me, stretching back far earlier than the Kindle. They know all my past addresses. They know what brand of shampoo I use. They know my clothing sizes and what shade of Feria Hair dye I use. They know all this because I have chosen to conduct my business with them. I
choose to be their customer.
If you for some reason feel unsafe having your reading habits openly available to the Amazon retailer, then you need to do something other than read on a Kindle and buy books from Amazon. Keep the wireless off 100% of the time or buy another brand that doesn't have 3G and WiFi. Or get to your local bookstore and purchase anonymously using cash only.
Amazon makes no secret of the fact that they can connect to your Kindle.
It really is that simple.
