My kobo (10+ years old) has an browse option. Tried it, it kinda works but it’s kinda slow. An e reader isn’t built for browsing, e-ink is perfect for reading but slow for everything else. So I use my phone for browsing and my e-reader for reading. Since wifi is practically always off and it has e-ink display, the battery lifetime is staggering. That’s how I want my e-reader to be.

Yeah, everybody collects data, but verifying it, cleaning up, deleting old stuff costs more than a few “misplaced” text’s. So many just keep going with it. And who knows? maybe not the property mentioned, but you might have another place to sell. Or pass the message on to a friend. Even misplaced texts might lead to a deal profit …

Ugh, how is my phone number even connected with their house?!

It probably isn’t. More likely, she is tied to the house, you are still tied to her in some (out-dated) database
