The plugin doesn't contain any of the spyware code. It only sends what's needed to get the book download (or book return, if and only if you do attempt to return a book) to work.
The only thing it does just to behave more like ADE that wouldn't be strictly necessary is a so-called fulfillment notification that lets the book distributor (so the shop where you bought your book, not Adobe) know you just downloaded that particular book. If you want, you can also disable that through the plugin settings.
The plugin does not have any code that sends anything to anywhere that's not related to the one book you're currently downloading, it doesn't send or receive any ad-related data or any other data from your computer, and it doesn't send anything to Google Analytics or other trackers.
The code is open-source and not that large, so you can easily check the source code on Github - even for Python noobs it should be easy to confirm that there's no user data tracking in there except what's needed for the book download.
