Why would Amazon need to read the contents of a person's Kindle to determine if they had bought a book like the infamous "1984" from them? They already have a record of your purchases.

Feel free to be paranoid if you want, but using your line of reasoning you should also be worried about Sony reading the contents of your PRS-505 whenever you connect it to a computer that has an internet connection. Connectivity is connectivity, whether it's over a 3G network or an internet connection.
