I can't speak for OP, but I rooted my Poke 3 specifically so I can run AFWall+ and block any outgoing connections other than my browser, Koreader, and my syncing application. Onyx devices notoriously phones home to Chinese servers. Not sure what data is being transmitted and it's probably nothing malicious, but I like having full control of what data is being sent and received on a device I own. I have the same philosophy with any Google/Microsoft/Amazon/etc device.
