The use of "such as" leaves it pretty open to collect whatever they want. Of course, I knew all of this before buying my Kindle. I'm not thrilled but it's kind of the way things are with a lot of services these days, and I have the option to disable the wireless to keep it from phoning home. However, the web browser was part of the attraction and I enjoy playing with it so I doubt I'll have it off all the time.

Heck, they already track my searching, buying and browsing on their site, and if anyone's actually looking at that data on an individual level, they're having a field day with my data.
