Does koreader do better regarding privacy? Does/can Kobo keep track of what the user reads using koreader?
Kobo barely keeps track of what the user reads when reading epubs (the number of books, hours read and time of day read). Koreader does not report any information to Kobo.

Kobo does keep track of reading stats and other information for ebooks purchased from Kobo or it's partners and read in kepub format. If you download the ebook in epub format, it drops into the epub category.
