Again, it is something that you can easily verify for yourself by looking at marketing materials from the vendors. None of that is conjecture. All of that is fact. You would be a fool to believe otherwise. What we don't know is the depth of the data collection and data usage. It may be a case of what we see is what is happening, or it may go much deeper. We simply don't know because the process is opaque. The possibility does exist though.

That makes me glad that I rarely, if ever, connect my ereaders to wifi. I really don't want to share my data.
