You can turn that off in settings. I have and get nothing from them.

That's not the point.

I didn't sign up for a goodreads account. I was given one. And it's sharing my email address with third parties by default.

That's scummy company behavior.

Purchase a Kindle Fire. It comes with Goodreads preinstalled and cannot be removed. When you set up the device, it either asks you for your goodreads account or makes one for your amazon-linked email.
