Page 1 of Adobe's ebook reader spies on your reading habits

Quote:
An investigation by Nate Hoffelder of The Digital Reader blog showed that ADE 4 was collecting telemetry on which pages of ebooks were being read, and in which order. This included the title, publisher, and other metadata, which was then sent to the company's mothership – a server called adelogs, no less – in plain text over the internet.
It apparently monitors what pages you read, and what order you read them in too. And because it's plain text, more than just Adobe will know what you are reading.

I should be shocked that a company as big as Adobe does this, and does it with plain text, but considering their history if security issues with Flash, and how bloatware Photoshop has become, I'm not. :/
