True.

Amazon just don't care, to be honest, I'd think. It's more hassle for them to check this. And really, with book-buying being one of the fantastic draws of this device, with the excellent tie-in to the Amazon store, the Kindle is designed to get people to consume stuff quickly and often.
It appears to be working; I've already bought more books in the first month than I did in the first 4 when I had my Sony eReader.
I have nothing to hide, so I'm happy for Amazon to look at the device. I mean, what are they going to do with my reading habbits? More effectively market things to me? Fine. Find out which books I read, and offer me deals on them? Also fine. Call on my doortstep on my birthday with a cake? Creepy - but fine.

I think I just got concerned because while I do obtain all my reading material legally, I don't get it all from Amazon. I've gotten books from B&N, BooksonBoard, Manybooks, Smashwords, etc., and some of them I have to convert to get them on my Kindle.

Glad you got your real query sorted out, and thanks for being patient with me!

I'm sorry I got huffy. It was a knee-jerk reaction. *Sigh*

I'll try to limit my postings here until I return to some measure of normal human behavior -- or maybe I'll go back to reading my Kindle and leave everyone in peace!

Nah --we all get ornery once in awhile.
Enjoy your time off!
