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 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 The Mozilla Foundation recommends Pocketbook:

@orci I'm a bit skeptical of Pocketbook. They say that they use usage data to give you personal recommendations. Personal recommendation sounds like tracking to me.

I own a Pocketbook. As long as you are not online with the Pocketbook there is no way to track anything. You don't need to use their shop.
I download ebooks from different shops to my PC and then upload them to the Pocketbook using Calibre.
For me Pocketbook is still first choice because it can handle virtually any file format. Stay independant of specific dealers.
