That is exactly what I was thinking when reading the comments about devices sending info back. IPV4 or IPV6 makes bugger all difference to the device. Just because a device has IPV6 doesn't mean that say an ebook store had unobstructed access to your device. Each device still needs an ip address and the ip address you get assigned depends upon the isp you are with, an ebook store can't set that on your device and access it anytime they want.
I wish I bookmarked it, but I read a good article a few months ago about a possible plan to slowly move in IPV6 and run parallel with IPV4 with the anticipation over time IPV4 devices will slowly be replaced with new gear. Think of the TV stations moving from analog to digital, one day they didn't wake up and turn off analog and turn on digital, they slowly rolled it out (ok issues with ipv4->ipv6 and vice versa with IP traffic, but you get the drift).
