Would someone help to clarify?
(no kindle for me in the future, Sony, it is time to give us a PRS-1000 already)
I read that as their right to read what is on your device includes but is not limited to the examples they give. The term "such as" is not exclusionary. So if you take out the examples, you get:

"The Device Software will provide Amazon with data about your Device and its interaction with the Service and information related to the content on your Device and your use of it.

To me that means they are reserving the right to examine the content. I'm not a lawyer so I could be quite wrong.
