If you are worried about privacy: buy real books (using cash if you are that paranoid). It will help the few bookstores that are remaining to stay in business. It doesn't strike me as a good thing to give over control of access to the printed word to a few mega-corporations.

On a related note: it's a sad fact that two of the people I worked with recently, both in their early 20's, said that they never spent any time reading books, electronic or physical. These were University-educated engineers. Don't let this happen to your kids, because a society that no longer reads does not have a long way to go.
