Amazon refuses to turn over customers' reading records to North Carolina tax department

Tax authorities in North Carolina, in connection with an investigation about sales taxes, has demanded that Amazon hand over information not only about sales to North Carolina residents, but the details of what they bought. This would include information about books and other very personal purchases.

Amazon is fighting the request as invasive of customer privacy.
