Personally I have several reasons to not choose the Kindle. Privacy being one of them.
BUT, having said that, I don't for one second think that Amazon actually bothers to "collect" my activities! And no government would be interested in it anyway...
And even IF they decided to keep track of me, come on, how much "interesting" activities can you do on an e-ink device?? Except of course the obvious: read books that might be considered bad/illegal or whatever.
Tin foil anyone?
Edit: Totally OT! Just got curious and had to look up "
privicy" vs "privacy" and found quite a few places with "privicy policies". Is "privicy" a usable term as well, or is it just one of those wide-spread misconceptions? Pardon me for asking, I'm not a native English speaker, but always prepared to expand my language skill a little!
