Well, I don't care about the second and the third. As to the first, registering your ereader is hardly the most likely option out there to fall victim to fraud or have your identity stolen. Using a bank card, buying things online etc. are all far more likely to cause this, but almost everyone does these things. And don't get me started on all the evils of social media, which I frankly detest, yet everyone else seems to love for reasons incomprehensible to me, privacy concerns notwithstanding.
Frankly, I don't care whether people register their readers or not. But some reasons they give for not registering seem pretty funny to me, considering everything else they use and do.
