They do, but they probably do anyway since they control everything that is Kindle. If you don't want Amazon to know what you're reading, don't buy a kindle. And the good thing about it is that you do have the page sync. Even with uploaded files.
But yeah I'm looking to move to another ecosystem too. I'm not a big fan of calibre though, it's such a messy application. Very bad UX, so 2010s. I use it when I need it (conversion) but I wouldn't use it as my book library.
I'm looking for a new ereader ecosystem though. Ideally something where I can run the sync server myself. And readers with page turn buttons. I'm not really convinced of Kobo now that they only sell the colour Libra which has really poor contrast (so you always need the backlight). I really regret not buying a Libra 2 when they were still around.
- nottorp 2y agoSpeaking of which, what are the alternatives to the Kindle? I absolutely want the light because I read in bed a lot and I don't need a lamp on that way. I don't care about any fancy functions besides reading epub. To be honest, I don't think I want any fancy functions. I only use the ereaders for reading fiction, if I'm going through a technical pdf I use a computer and either a separate text editor or paper for notes. Built in stores don't count either, I'm not above going to guaranteed DRM free sources. What's left then at the Kindle price range?
- lazyasciiart 2y agoHmm I don’t know price range but Kobo is apparently going to be supported by bookstore.org soon.
