Somebody that concerned with their privacy would surely know enough to thoroughly inspect the Terms of Service before whipping out their credit card to purchase a device with wireless capabilities, right?
I have no problem with people being concerned about privacy issues at all... but I do have a problem with people who only seem to get concerned after they've opened their wallet to an internet company and implicitly (or tacitly) agreed to their terms. Take responsibility... make that call before buying the high-tech wireless/3G gizmo.

I'm with you on that but I don't see anyone here 'crying foul'.
It's interesting how you chose to only quote part of my sentence.

This isn't to say that anyone should really expect amazon NOT to have this information ; just that people shouldn't take privacy issues so cavalierly.

My concern isn't that Amazon would have this info (a library will keep records as well, obviously); it's if governments can access this info.
This really has nothing to do with amazons TOS.
It just really irks me when I hear this kind of attitude. For another example, look at the warrantless wiretapping of millions of citizens in the US: when confronted with this information, some people will dismiss it saying 'well, I have nothing to hide. They can listen all they want."
It's basically welcoming a police state and throwing freedom out the window.
