I think giving a corporation access to your private reading material, and the ability to collect data about it, is troublesome; it's reasonable to be concerned about it. It's reasonable for people who are concerned about one or more of those aspects (or something else I didn't cover, perhaps involving financial data that doesn't matter to me 'cos I have no finances to speak of) to want to avoid Kindle/Nook/Sony Daily to avoid the problems that can come with giving wireless access to one's book collection.
and, its none of their damn business what you read.
