But the processes the Kindle Fire uses to ‘speed things up’ are already setting off privacy alarm bells.
Writing on Naked Security, a blog for British computer security firm Sophos, senior security adviser Chester Wisniewski said:
"All web connections from your tablet will connect directly to Amazon, rather than the destination web page. Amazon will keep this connection between your Kindle Fire and EC2 open indefinitely while you are actively surfing, reducing the latency and connection times to retrieve web pages… Hopefully you can start to see the problem here. All of your web surfing habits will transit Amazon's cloud."
He also wrote , ‘If you think Google AdWords and Facebook are watching you, this service is guaranteed to have a record of EVERYTHING you do on the web.’
Kindle Fire started getting Critics from Privacy analyst all through the world because of Silk.
