What really irriates me for some reason with Snoop-O-Matic is that the log shows what book you've opened on what day and at what time. Now, I obviously don't mind Amazon knowing what books I've bought from them, I can just about accept them knowing what else I've got on my Kindle, but giving them the ability to know exactly what I read and when is a little bit too much... there's a limit as to what info I want to give them, even if it's "only" for marketing purposes. So I just don't bother using the wi-fi and download all my books to the laptop and transfer via USB.

Edit: and the terms of service are actually extremely vague as to exactly *what* info is collected and *how* it's used.
