Which report are you referring to? There are several, involving both kindle and firestick. I mean, it's not like Amazon didnt file a patent to listen in on people's conversations. I'm not sure what you mean by "no one could show any proof that Amazon does that". What more additional proof do you require?

The first one was rated Xxx, the second one is an autobiography about Martin &Lewis by Jerry Lewis.

I prefer people not know what I am reading. I also prefer corporations not know how much battery power I have on my device, where I am when I am reading, how fast I am reading, what books I have in my library, what web calls my devices makes, etc. Know what books a man reads and you know the man.

There's a bit of a difference between maintaining server logs and collecting analytics about your individual reading habits en masse. Glad you found something to laugh at.
