“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-purchased copy of 1984 and Animal Farm from all Kindles remotely. Ridiculous. Apparently, the publisher changed its mind about having electronic versions of Orwell’s books.”

Sounds like something out of “Fahrenheit 451 of the Future”.

I don’t know what the publisher was threatening, but the bad PR that the Kindle is getting for this will have a serious cost of its own. Yuck.

I had heard that in fact, it was that the publisher didn’t have the rights or something to distribute the book….
