Downloading an audiobook that I paid for, I am using Duck Duck Go's new tracker trapper to watch in real time as Kobo uses Google to try, more than once per second, to detect ... something. Duck Duck Go says Google is "known to detect" everything from headphone status to gender

Let me just buy a damn book

Post edited to reflect that this is Kobo's fault, and that I don't know exactly what it's trying to detect.
