I think this is right. Compared to the fact that I bought the book, how fast I read it, or if I read it, is of much less importance to me from a privacy perspective.
Although if I were reading Playboy on a NookColor, I suppose I wouldn't want them to know that I spent 5 minutes looking at a picture of Miss March, but 10 minutes looking at a picture of Miss May. Not even if it enabled them to tailor their recommendations better.
