The coordinates are not precise enough to help with that, and also I doubt very much that Amazon or the police would care about it. Some people could argue that a mobile phone also tracks you all the time (see http://www.zeit.de/datenschutz/malte...data-retention for a dramatic illustration) but that's inherent to how mobile phones work. I can't see why an ebook reader needs to send that data to its parent company (even using wifi!)
