E-Books readers: Potential tool for the Thought Police.
This Christmas, Amazon have been selling more kindle than physical books.
For those who still don't know the kindle is an e-book reader, you can access to an online library and download your e-books, and do everything you'd to usually except maybe reading in the bath.
I hate the product, deeply, due to very shady terms of use, I've blogged about it before.
It kills me to know that while privacy is becoming a major topic, which will probably be buzzing all around the web in 2010, people still fall for a device that spies on everything you read.
According to the chart on eff.org, the Kindle is not the only guilty one here, Google Books and the BnB Nook are also sharing information about your readings... to third party service providers.
Who are the third party service providers? I just wish it's not a potential future Independent Bureau Of Thought Correctness...
Well, just wait, see, and hope New Moon is never made illegal.
