And that if you checked out a kindle library book...Amazon would email you to buy that book. WTF. That should be a PRIVATE activity taking place between me and my city library. NOT me, my city library and Amazon trying to stick it's greedy fingers in my pocketbook. That's insane and probably the (first) reason why Penguin pulled their books. Publishers don't want Amazon to have that kind of data access. And neither do I!
I like going through Amazon for my library books, because they get delivered wirelessly. No more cables.

I don't see a privacy issue. Amazon already knows which books I buy so I don't care if they know which books I borrow.
