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.

They could move to Kent Texas. No phones, no internet, no stores, no fuel, not much of anything for at least an hour.
