Amazon basically guaranteed that I ’ll never buy a Kindle last night by bending to the wishes of a publisher and deleting every single legitimately - purchase written matter of 1984 and Animal Farm from all Kindles remotely . Ridiculous .
Apparently , the publisher changed its psyche about having electronic versions of Orwell ’s book of account . So Amazon removed them from the store and in the unconscious process remotely deleted the books from the Kindles of anyone who bought them , depositing a repayment in their accounting in the procedure .
If there ’s a better statement for stagnant - tree books and against the Kindle , I ’d like to know what it is . If you ca n’t be sure that you own something after you give for it , what ’s the point ? How many people were halfway through these books that they paid for and now are shit out of luck ?
Amazon says this is a “ rarity , ” but even once is too many times for crap like this to fall out . Once I buy a book from Barnes & Noble , I never have to worry about them breaking into my house and taking it back , leaving me a plenty of singles on my nightstand .
And of course the fact that this materialize to 1984 , of all books , induce this even more surreal . [ NY TimesviaBoing Boing ]
