Maybe this is no longer relevant, but several years ago version 4 of ADE did scan all titles loaded on a device, without regard to origin or DRM, and uploaded the data to Adobe's servers. Initially Adobe denied this behavior but testing by both Ars Technica

and the EFF
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/1...-e-reader-mess
confirmed Adobe was not telling the truth. Soon afterwards, Adobe claimed it was a "bug" and released 4.0.1 which changed the behavior. The EFF confirmed the new release had solved the problem, at least for the time being.
But, as a result, I think some people still question Adobe's honesty about revealing what their software really does.
