*May* be?
I'm darn sure they collect information!
Case in point, I rarely buy Kindle books. However, not long after Kindle finally got library lending through Overdrive, I'd borrowed some EPUB books from my local library. I had NEVER borrowed any Kindle books through my library. Suddenly, even though I'd not searched for those books on Amazon or bought any from those authors, those particular titles and authors were plastered all over my Amazon.com page as reading recommendations.
Just saying...
