title_body: Can Amazon know about the books I upload to my Kindle device? One user can upload her/his own ebook files onto a Kindle device .
  
  I'd want to know if Amazon is able to know what you are uploading on the device or not.
upvoted_answer: While it is possible, it is improbable as long as you ensure all data capabilities of the device are always off. If they are ever turned on, there would be nothing stopping Amazon from snooping what's on your device. Furthermore, if it's 3G enabled, you have no guarantee that it doesn't switch on data without your knowledge and snoops your files.
