Hello All,

As suggested by Anthem that I may want to consider Kindle. Well I dug once more into the whole review thing. Yes I do agree that kindle seems good value for money.
Just that amazons big brother attitude is what I don't like.
So I actually also parsed through the jail breaking section for kindle.
What I have understood is once I jail break I can break away from amazon 100% and install updates via USB.
But if I don't then amazon servers will have full control over the device, including any browsing, location and any side books I load on to the device, and not just the ones I purchase via amazon. I understand is they want to have their cloud storage as primary and hence have a mirror of my data on their servers.

Am I correct in my understanding?

Thanks & Regards,
-Dhiraj
