He got it from a prior post by someone who didn't own one and didn't know much of anything about them. Probably another "constitutional scholar" (not referring to DavidH13) and I'm certain I'll get soundly thrashed for disputing the original idea ... because I'm just sure there's some loon out there who just thrives on spreading misinformation. No ... let me rephrase that .... I know for a fact there are loons out there who love to spread misinformation. Thank heavens for the ignore button.
DavidH13 .... really .... seriously .... no way, no how ... the Kindle cannot track anything except for the purchases you actually make from Amazon. They do keep a record of what you have purchased ... and they do that so that you can download your purchases more than once (if you need to). I like to think of it as a backup service.
They also keep track of how many Kindles are registered to a single account. I believe the limit is six Kindles on each account.
