Thing is, 1984 made it known that Amazon can see what you have on your Kindle. I've never read of Kobo being able to see what I have on my Reader. But because of 1984, more people are weary of privacy and those that do steal eBooks may be afraid that with WiFi on, they can be spied on and if found out, get in trouble.
I have a proper account with Kobo, Amazon, Google, ebooks.com, Smashwords, And Baen, and others. I used to have accounts at a lot more places but thanks to Apple and the price fix 6 a lot of those are now gone.
