So, do you know enough about your cellphone company or your bank that you'd agree if they told you they were going to do whatever they wanted with your information? I surely don't.
Do I worry about that? Yeah, specially when I read about hacks or get personalized ads on my newsfeed.
Do I have enough time and willpower available to go out of my way to find out exactly what every company I give my money and attention is doing with my personal information? Not really.

And again, I don't think it's just surveillance paranoia. For me, it's that Amazon as a company is profitable enough as is, and I don't feel like freely giving my information to them.

It's weird that this needs to be stated, but my personal reading habits are, by definition, private. Even if I decide to let others know about them, that should still come from a place of choice, rather than because a wordy ToS tricked me into giving them away in order for others to profit from my taste.

And it's your absolute right to want that!
What doesn't sound fair to me is to assume that, because you believe this, that gives you the right to insult others by calling them paranoid.
As shown here in this thread, there's more than mere paranoia at play, even if you refuse to admit it.

Think for a second: how would you feel if I created a thread saying "Gee, what's up with all these people who register their readers? What's with the stupidity?"
