So what actually happens . . .?

so what actually happens on an e/os phone if I have an app like “audible” installed and I use it for it’s intended use.

  • What data goes in and out of the phone?
  • can I make payments from the phone to Amazon without them seeing my data?
  • Will Amazon know it’s me and allow me to download titles to my phone?

Many thanks from a very un-tech savvy old man.

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online servicesphone

as you need to be logged-in to use the service and make payments, there’s not much difference to using the service through a regular Android phone. Maybe some upside in less trackers / Ads.

At best it works, at worst digital rights management doesn’t like the /e/OS Android and there’s no playback / download of files.

It is not anonymizing in any significant way, but it won’t collect, use, or re-sell your data as much as “regular” Android or iPhones do (at the operating system level). Apps will work as expected in almost 100% of the cases, including subscriptions and online payments. I think apps that needs to communicate with the parent company to work still does that, but it might be some filtering on the amount of data that slips through. Personally I always try to download my apps from the F-Droid repository, they are open source and almost always behave nicer than apps from the Google store.
