I uninstalled the Kindle App from my phone as it was attempting to contact Amazon even when I wasn't reading a book. Now I convert to epub to read on a 3rd party app on my phone.
I also won't sign up to Prime or Unlimited etc as a reader, nor KDP Select as a publisher. The Unlimited REQUIRES 100% monitoring per page or the Authors / Publishers don't get paid. It's a very nasty subscription model destroying privacy.
ADE (used for epubs with DRM) reports to Adobe and at one stage was sending statistics of usage in the clear.
Note HTTPS isn't secure when used via a 3rd party WiFi point or some mobile systems.
DRM is a terrible evil.
Note also, a privacy notice doesn't make GDPR violations legal, or immoral monitoring acceptable. Not all contracts are even legally enforceable.
