Which problem would that be? Google knows I'm reading a book? My (or your) government knows I bought a movie last week? I honestly don't care. Letting businesses know what things I like means they're more likely to continue making them. If the government wants to know what you're up to they have far easier ways to do it than scraping together bits of Amazon data.

They don't need to know it's you that bought it, though, to get the signal to keep making them.
