Techno-holics: amazon is "doubleplusungood "
you don't own the ebooks that you buy on your Amazon Kindle.
Even worse, Amazon can simply delete them at will.
In fact, that's exactly what's happened to (of all books!) George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm.talk about irony.
People who legitimately purchased those books discovered that they're now gone, as the publisher has decided that ebook versions were doubleplusungood and should never have existed in the first place.
but what kind of book do you buy that gets automatically disappeared by big brother? eBooks are an interesting concept, but how can anyone buy into something where their books might suddenly disappear?
