Yeah. I've bought thousands of ebooks over the years, from Amazon, Google, Kobo, Smashwords and many other stores. Lots of them had DRM when I bought them. They have no DRM now. All my ebooks reside in Calibre and I manage them as I want.
As to the rest, it's nice if you have time to spare for such concerns. I don't. I buy something where it's the cheapest and most convenient to buy it and frankly don't care for the rest. Life is too short and I have more pressing concerns than data mining or the reputation of companies.
Yes, I use Windows, Android, Google, Amazon and so on. Don't care what they do with my data. I just have no time or energy for caring about that.
