Also, this is a books site, which you may not have noticed, so...yea, discussing booksellers.
Simply because some records are out there does not excuse a company from being overly broad in the details it records about you. You mention things like banks and medical records...where there are laws specifying tight access and security parameters for storing the data. Amazon has none of those. You're smokescreening on an issue some people feel strongly about.

Ok, so list the privacy terms of all the other booksellers, and how they differ from Amazon. Include Apple, in another week they will also be involved. All I've heard so far is talk, innuendo. Actually nail the companies down and get them to list the privacy issues, specifically list out your concerns and how they differ from Amazon.
Amazon removed the books from Kindles at the request of publishers, in the case of "1984", due to a copyright issue, and in my mind they did the right thing, but not in the right method, and they learned from that. Probably no other bookseller will repeat that.
