Then you also shouldn't use use a Kobo ereader if you ever sync it to get updates. Without any patches (which I have no clue if they even exist), Kobo tracks everything you do, how many page flips, how long you're idle, access different menu items, change the light level, etc. Then everything gets uploaded to Kobo when you do a sync. This is for purchased and sideloaded books.
Since I track books I read and don't always remember to track Kobo reads, I periodically look in the Analytics table to get start and end dates of books. I even found today a book I missed recording back in July. I actually wish I could do this on my Kindle reader, but Kindle encrypts the data.
