I kind of get where you are going with it, but yes, I'm aware of how things work when buying a product. I don't consider my Kindle Paperwhite as an always-on tracking-my-reading device, I consider it as an e-ink screen that I can transfer my books to via USB. I still buy books from Amazon, but that's because I know how to de-DRM them, which is something I don't know how to do with books from... for example, Microsoft Store, or Google Play Books. I don't own a smart TV because I don't need a TV at all, I need a screen to plug an HDMI cable into. I don't own Alexa / Google Home because fuck that. I've refused to own a smartphone until August 2016.
