Many eBook readers will phone home about what you're reading.
It's bad enough that Amazon would know what ebooks I've purchased. The Kindle will tell Amazon what pages I've read and when I read them.
There is a damn good reason I don't even own an ebook reader.
- rmxt 12y agoNot even an Android tablet loaded with an AOSP ROM, F-Droid and CoolReader? http://coolreader.org/e-index.htm http://coolreader.org/e-index.htm
- MichaelCrawford 12y agoHey thanks for that. I might buy the reader that Portland's Powells City of Books sells, but have not yet looked into whether it phones home.
- mahyarm 12y agoeh, it's 50-50. Some people like that ebook reader picks up from where you left off from another device.
- MichaelCrawford 12y agoI'd be completely cool with that, were the implementation of that feature to only communicate between devices that I myself own.
