Never heard of telemetry on e-readers.
Personally I keep wifi turned off on mine anyway to preserve battery life and keep forced updates away. The only time I had wifi on was when I set the device up because that requires an account (for kobo readers). There is a quite technical way to bypass that though as far as I know.
Edit: After reading up on it, it seems like there is actually telemetry on kobo devices...
Time to find a way to disable that shit
I was curious about the topic myself. In case you didn't have any luck, I found this. Seems pretty simple to solve honestly. Wild that an ereader has telemetry to begin with, but at least it's fixable.
Oh yeah, I found that too. I just wasn't certain whether this still works, considering the original post is from 2011.
