I guess I would PREFER if Amazon did not know more about me but until someone provides an easy hack to disable "ET calling home" or one that allows erasing of the log (or whatever info is collected) I guess I will live with it.

I do wonder - if wireless if off, how big or long is the log file that the kindle stores/creates. Will it just keep appending and growing until sent to Amazon when someone finally turns wireless back on? Or will it eventually overwrite itself?

I do wish I knew more about linux and felt comfortable getting to the "hidden partition" (or whatever it is) and could find/delete such info.
