Adobe’s e-book reader sends your reading logs back to Adobe—in plain
text [Updated]
Digital Editions even tracks which pages you've read. It might break a
New Jersey Law.

>A review of Adobe's terms of use for DE found no mention of the logging feature...
...
>  It's clear from testing that data is sent on more than just the book>
currently being read—in our test, data was provided from a "scan" of>
all documents currently in the library. Additionally, it's not clear>
why all this data is sent regardless of the source of the book—even
>  EPUB documents that are DRM free get all their data shipped back to
