Don't use the wireless. Living in an area that doesn't have wireless coverage (Alaska), I've never gotten used to the wireless download. I've downloaded all my content to my computer and then USB'd it to the Kindle. Amazon.com may have records of what I've purchased, but they'll never have access to my Kindle to delete/snoop items. I don't like the idea of someone being able to look into my reading habits without my knowledge. YMMV.

P.S. Another advantage to downloading content to my computer is that I'll have a copy even if Amazon.com decides to recall a book for copyright issues (ala 1984).
