I've freely admitted that Amazon store your data and even in the case of the Kindle will track what you're reading and various other pieces of information in the diagnostic logs. Do I personally mind that they know what I'm reading? No. I'm currently reading a selection of free Sherlock Holmes books along with some of the special offer freebies (One is some paramedic guy that I can't quite remember the name of) if you're curious. Do I mind that others might be bothered? No. It is their Kindle and their information.
What I'm objecting to is your idea that the article you linked to is relevant to this thread itself. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Kindle or any other eReader. You could do exactly the same article about B&N in the place of Amazon. They keep track of what you're buying and have previously bought. They've even got a eReader device. How about Borders? They still exist in the US. Their overseas operations have pretty much all been closed down. This thread has enough useless information and rumours mixed in with real facts that polluting is just going to make it even more painful to read.
I've wasted enough time with your pointless article anyway. I'm sure you must have B&N stock or something. Am I right? Yeah. Have fun with that.
