I doubt many people living in democratic countries are going to care, as it's not a life or death issue for them (well, so far). For people living in different regimes it may be a very serious issue, but I'm not sure how widespread ebook reading is in those parts of the world. Most ebook reading seems to be centered in the English-speaking countries, which are mostly democracies.
Personally, I don't much care either at the moment (it could change in the future, of course). My ereaders are almost always offline anyway. My browsing history on my computers probably contains far more sensitive material than my ereaders (no, I don't mean porn).
