I think it's a bit insane. People worry about what's on their ereader and it being used to keep some sort of 'track' of them or something, but how many worry about what the apps on their cell phones may be telling others? Or the preferred customer cards that grocery stores provide for their customers. The barcode on those links to your account so that the store knows a lot about you if you think about it and for that matter the GPS in your car can also be used to see if you were anywhere near the scene of the crime (so to speak). With all that why worry about what a humble little ereader could be doing?
