I'm sure it knows what books you have looked at, in addition to what you actually purchased.
Google collects info too. It knows what you searched and if you have gmail, google has a copy of every email sent or received.
If the govt collected this data, the ACLU would go nuts. It is probably worse that a commercial entity has all this info about individuals.
They are all interconnected. So, if amazon is collecting your info, so is the government if they need it. Don't worry though, most of us are in the same boat, and there is no privacy anymore.
