Ereaders and Tracking
I was having a conversation today about the more popular ereaders/retailers and [personal/customer] tracking....when I realized I'd forgotten a few things and could not locate the privacy website that I originally got the info from.
Amazon
Kindle: Tracks and returns lots of details including the metadata on non-kindle books.
K4PC: ?? Same?
Sony
Older Models: tracks nothing
T1: ??
Sony Reader: ??
Kobo
Older Models: [s]Tracks nothing[/s] Tracks and returns lots of details including the metadata on non-kobo books. ??
Touch: [s]Tracks nothing[/s]
Kobo Desktop: [s]Tracks nothing[/s] Same??
B&N
Older Model: Tracks and returns lots of details including the metadata on non-nook books.
Current model: same
B&N Desktop Reader: ?? Same?
The reason this conversation came up was privacy. The original question was: Which ereader/retailer is best for privacy? My vote was for Kobo.
