So because I've lost my Sony Reader, it looks like I'm trying out a Kindle next. Given the recent 1984 bit, and what I've been reading, I am confused on one part. What is Amazon able to do/learn about things that you put on the Kindle yourself via USB? I am fine with them knowing what I buy from them, that's just going to be a given. But I'm not sure how I feel about them being able to exercise interactions with any other content on the device. Presumably it's possible, but has anything been said about that?

Thanks!
