I certainly would not want anything resembling a paper book. Compared to e-readers they're clumsy and much less comfortable to hold. If I wanted paper books, I'd read paper books.

As to company-controlled readers, I would not fancy them overmuch either. My Kindles stay in airplane mode most of the time and I sideload my books. But I don't really sweat it either. So what if a corporation knows what I read? They can read my e-mail too by that logic and listen in to my phone calls and know what I watch on Netflix etc. etc. If one wants to retain total privacy in today's world, one must get off internet and live in a desert somewhere. I don't want to live in a desert without internet, so there'll always be some compromise on privacy.
