Amazon monitoring just one person is all but a worthless effort, but you get Amazon monitoring 2 million customers and suddenly you have some very very valuable data. I myself don't like the idea of a company being sent information on what I am reading, for how long, current page etc etc.
I am only singling out Amazon as an example as they are the primary company mentioned in this thread. No doubt there are many many others that data mine.
