Thank you to all of you who responded. Family stuff, haven’t had time to go into this too deeply. I double checked, my kindle account isn’t linked to Goodreads. I think I will end up deleting my Goodreads account. I don’t use it anymore, and I don’t have friends or followers there.
I do follow some authors on Amazon.com, but that shouldn’t result in sharing of notes and highlights, right?
I did notice the highlights seemed pretty random—words and phrases that, really, it wouldn’t have made sense to highlight. The actual note was a bit disturbing. My account and devices are not shared with anyone.
I haven’t contacted Amazon yet. I’ll perhaps chalk this up to a glitch of some kind. I was happy to see that removing the book from the device and redoing the download corrected the issue. I do take this as a warning that notes may not be so private after all.
