Actually, this part bothers me and is a big reason for me to never buy a Kindle. I think nobody has a right to look on my data-storage device, be it my computer, PDA or ereader. Either, you have to sign an agreement that Amazon is allowed to do that (I can't buy the Kindle, so I don't know if that's the case or not) or Amazon is out of line by looking on my device.
If it was the first case, I'd return the device immediately. If it's the second, Amazon was breaking (at least in my country) the law (punishable by jail-time or fine).

A very good reason to not buy a Kindle, ever. I think they should load up
