I stand corrected, from what I heard I gathered the Kindle connection was pretty much always active. And you are right: your cellphone also makes it easy to track you (except that my phone is a prepaid one with no subscription). But I digress - what I intended to convey was that while real privacy is an illusion, you can at least try to prevent a single multinational from obtaining everything there is to know about you. Alas for sounding paranoid, but there's already a few companies out there with more than superb information retrieval networks (google, microsoft) that know a lot more about me than I would like a random company to do.
