Anyone know of a privacy friendly alternative to Kindle?
I was just going to buy one, never register and keep it on airplane mode then sideload books via calibre from my pc but after reading this [article](nullsweep.com/kindle-collects-) I don't want to run the risk of having all my data still being stored & then sent when i forget to keep airplane mode off

@STORM I'm looking at the Kobo, good for taking notes and uses PDFs well, but no direct experience yet kobo.com/

@buddha_314 @STORM I actually just replaced my Kindle with a Kobo Libra 2. I love the reader, but they also sell your info to third parties & affiliates. *sad face*

@orci @STORM ACK! We can't win! At least it's not Bezos getting rich, I suppose. And you can buy books from indie e-book stores.

@buddha_314 @STORM Totally. That's why I switched to Kobo. I hate the Amazon stranglehold on e-publishing.

@orci @buddha_314 pocket book seems better than kobo, but not available from their site for my country again lol but I'll look around at local stores if they have it available
