I thought it had been verified that the logs weren't being sent (unless, presumably, they ask for them, probably in a customer support role)? All you're saving is a ping every minute or so (still a waste of power, mind you).

Myself I buy a lot from Amazon -- living a long way from any physical bookshops will do that -- so I was very happy when the backdoorlock came out so I could use Amazon as, well, y'know, the *bookshop* they wanted me to use it for when they sold me the Kindle without having to worry that they'd shove JBPatch-and-hyphenation-breaking upgrades down my throat without asking.
