Kindle Controversy
It sounds like something out of George Orwell: E-book editions of 1984 and Animal Farm have been vanishing from people’s personal Kindles. I might add that these e-books have been purchased and fully paid for.
Amazon, at the request of an Orwellian publisher, has been repossessing these e-books without permission and refunding the purchase price. (More commentary here, plus my three verse limerick about this outrageous invasion of privacy, plus an update about Amazon’s welcome Kindle policy change.)

Wow! The irony. While I can understand why Amazon wanted to delete these items; the manner in which they did so leaves a very uncomfortable feeling.
I may still buy a Kindle. I just need to go into it understanding what I am getting myself into.
Chris, I was on the verge of buying one. Now I’m not so sure. :)
Oceania has always been at war with East Asia. We were never at war with Eurasia. You claim you have documentary proof that we were? Look at your kindle; it’s right there. We have always been at war with East Asia.
Stalin could only dream of it; it took the ever-inventive “free market” to make it a reality.
Backs up my theory that regular oldfashion paper based books are better. :-)
