I don't agree with "only thieves want privacy."
But when it comes to ebooks/ereaders, if someone says they aren't going to borrow ebooks from a library and they aren't going to purchase them and they aren't going to read only public domain titles... well, you've really whittled down available ways to legally secure ebooks.
I too value privacy, though I guess not to the level of others. I read on Kobos and Nooks. Both are registered when purchased and WiFi is shut off afterwards. I purchase my books from Amazon, but then I sideload them onto my readers. Everyone gets a glimpse of what I'm doing I suppose, but I don't feel the eye of Big Brother on everything I do.
