That depends upon your definition of spyware. Ultimately, features like Reading Life and Facebook integration are about collecting marketing data. Some people think of this as spyware, others don't. Even though we don't truly know what is being sent back to Kobo servers, it is probably safe to say that they aren't collecting passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal information unless you explicitly provide it to them (say to buy a book). So it probably isn't spyware in that sense.
