They could gather data about that if they want. I've seen no indication that they do. I have quite a few books I've loaded on my Kindle that have the DRM removed and there's never been a fuss. They're books that aren't available without DRM but I acquired them legally and format-shifted them. I know there are also plenty of people here who have changed the TTS settings on books without a peep out of Amazon. We can't guarantee that they never will start meddling in your private affairs but the day they start would be the day that I start shopping elsewhere. I'm sure many folks would feel the same. It would be PR suicide if they did it and they don't really have anything to gain.
