Why is syncing across devices not opt-in? Why doesn't Kindle tell you which data it sends and when?

- falcolas 6y agoSync is opt-in. And, good question. It would be nice, though I'm sure they've buried it in their multi-page privacy doc somewhere. EDIT: No, it's not opt-in. Reading failure on my part.

- falcolas 6y agoCrud, I read that wrong; you're correct in that it's opt-out. That said, given that it provides a high value to the end user (I use it daily), I personally don't mind.
