Given all the people on MR that are registered with Kobo and/or Amazon who have never had a privacy issue why is it that some feel the need for privacy when there is no problem with it? Oh and I've never read of a privacy issue with B&N, Onyx, Pocketbook, or any other company that sells Readers. I'm more likely to hear about privacy issue from physical stores like Target and others.
Are you are talking about the possibility of having personal account information hacked/stolen? I would consider that a security concern rather than a privacy issue.

To at least some people in this thread, "privacy" means not having Kobo or Amazon or whoever keeping track of what you read.
