Speaking,

OTOH, if I had to buy their oven(my ereader) to cook their fish, I'd expect that I could use it to cook other fish to the same doneness and flavor. Surely, I'd not be allowed to only use lemon butter and dill on their fish and the oven timer and thermostat would work as expected with my fish.

I get your point, and other's regarding privacy, companies changing things or observing without permission, but I'm only asking for a page sync, no other exchange of information.

The problem comes in for me because I carry different devices on a daily basis depending on my schedule and occasionally find myself reading on a tablet to kill some time. I'd prefer doing all of my for pleasure reading on e-ink, but it's not always convenient to cart around multiple devices. I carry at minimum a cellphone, a tablet, paper notebook, company catalog, contracts, glucose meter, insulin, needles, supplies, etc. on a daily basis, sometimes the ereader is just one more bother than I can stand. It's not so bad in Winter other than my coat weighing a ton, but in Summer gets to be a bother as some things can't be left in a hot, or soon to be, car and others I must have with me anyway.
