Brad McGraw The Electronic Frontier Foundation put out an e-book buyer’s guide to privacy, which takes a look at 5 different readers and lets you know if they collect information about what you are reading, what you are searching for, etc.
Their full article can be found here.
The only ‘privacy’ question I don’t see a need to be there is, ‘Can they keep track of book purchases?’. I would think this would be a good thing in case your e-reader dies and goes to electronics heaven and you need to redownload your books. Keeping track of purchases is a pretty minor thing to worry about considering some of the other issues that are pointed out.
