Having said that, I will admit I grow weary of any post here from a new user that starts out with mentioning they want some sort of absolute privacy.

One acquaintance has caused me quite a few chuckles with her contradictory attitudes on privacy. She is active on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. (she's never met a social network she didn't love
). Yet she also gets very upset over her lack of privacy using her tablet and phone to read books purchased from either Amazon or Kobo or borrowed from the local library. What she wants is to be able to sync reading position, bookmarks, etc. without the possibility of Amazon or Kobo or the local library knowing what she is reading, when she is reading, etc.
This from someone who once publicly posted on Facebook that she and her hubby were going to Hawaii for a second honeymoon before their first child arrived. And then posted pictures while they were gone. And yes, they got a visit from someone looking for a 10 finger discount. As my wife put it, all they were missing was the big sign on the front lawn saying "Please Rob Us, Our house is empty now
".
