Currently not; Adobe has a statement quoted at:

  http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/10/adobes-e-book-reader-sends-your-reading-logs-back-to-adobe-in-plain-text/

indicating that the information disclosure is intentional, and is
(from their point of view) useful to them. This is just an example of
a behavior that might also occur in an open-source product. The Adobe
issue itself is off-topic for this list.
