Well look at it this way, that poster simply didn't know what they were talking about. That's the beginning and end of it. You had a person who (1) didn't own a Kindle, (2) had a bucket full of misinformation about it, and (3) chose to post it here.

Go figure. There seems to be a lot of that going around. Take it from me, no one at Amazon cares enough about you personally or me personally to monitor our reading habits. Further, you could use your Kindle to read all the books available here and never once connect it to Amazon ... you wouldn't even have to have it registered in order to read the books available here and lots of other places. All free and quite legal.

So, it would be a complete failure as a monitoring system .... aside from the fact that it would have to have a connection that went well beyond the capabilities of Whispernet (which is rather limited ... sad but true).

Now .... go in peace my child and enjoy your Kindle experience.
