The kindle e-readers do offer an opt-out from the metrics collection. It can be triggered from the website or the device itself.

That it's an opt-out and not opt-in is not a good thing, but it can be opted out of on the e-readers.

OK well that's something. An opt-in would be preferred but that's much better than nothing.

Is it confirmed though that these network requests definitely stop after that is switched?

What are the steps to do this?
Does not work, can you point to a tutorial? And does this include the Kindle app?
On my kindle Oasis:

- Go to the homescreen

- Open the hamburger menu

- Tap settings

- Device Options

- Advanced Options

- Privacy

- Disable
