I'm with you. But, as others have noted, there are ways around it, even before there's a jailbreak available:
(1) Never connect the device to the Internet. There's really no reason to.
(2) Use KFX Output in Calibre, blocking access to the Amazon servers. This is a bit of a hassle but it is doable. Especially since books take hours to read, so you're really only doing the work for a few minutes to get hours of spy-free enjoyment.
- sneak 5y agoWhy buy a Kindle at that point? I have a Likebook Mars that has an SD card slot that I use to load books on to it, which I have never connected to the internet.
- fullstop 5y agoOut of curiosity, do you have ghosting problems with the Mars? You can also connect a kindle to USB and use the internal flash without ever connecting it to the internet.
- sneak 5y agoNo more than any other eink? I haven't noticed anything in particular, but I haven't been looking for ghosting. It works great for my purposes.
- Ekaros 5y agoIt's reasonably priced pretty decent eink reader.
- 28605584 5y agoIn general, I find that Kindle has the best backlight, is fastest, and has a generally very smooth UI. Now, I haven't used the latest version of the OS, so that might have changed, but in general all the non-Kindle E-Ink devices I've used, I've wished it were a Kindle without the spy stuff.
