They are certainly capable of surveying Kindle devices via phone-home and estimating the loss of revenue. Not sure how much it effects books but I am quite convinced the failure of DRM has had significant affect on the music industry so could be ebooks too.
I am by no means arguing that they will. Only that they could....and other devices like laptops could not.

Hmmm...why couldn't a laptop do this as well? Any device that connects to the Internet could do this. If your argument is going to be that you don't have to connect your laptop to the internet, then I will counter that with the fact that you don't have to connect your e-reader to the Internet, either.
