I think this whole chain has missed the main point.
Why do you have a reader that has WiFi/3G/4G/ect. ?
Why do you store backup on the Cloud?
You have as much privacy as you are willing to pay for. Sometimes in money, sometimes in extra bother.
I run a Hanlin V3 reader. Old, not particularly popular. It doesn't have Wifi, everything has to be sideloaded. I backup to my sterile (non-internet computer), and keep a SD chip copy of my library off-site.
No worrys about who is watching my metadata, whether from a Big Brother sense, or just marketing 'bots trying to sell me things. Nobody knows what I read, they can only know that I bought it. Useful, but limiting for the marketing 'bots.
If you want privacy, give up your reader connection and the Cloud. It's that simple...
(I live by the rule - "If it can't happen, it won't happen." Call me paranoid if you wish....)
