Deleting fairly purchased e-books is wrong
Dear Amazon Kindle Team,
I have long thought that I would purchase a Kindle at some point, because it seems like a great and handy device for an avid reader such as myself. But I am writing today to let you know, for what it's worth, that I NEVER intend to buy one, and I intend to recommend that no one else buy one, in my extended circle of friends, family, and acquaintances, as long as you reserve the right to delete books remotely from devices - books which were legally and legitimately purchased. Even if this morning;s action was within your legal rights, rest assured that it is a laughable policy and does not deserve respect or reward in the marketplace.
Thanks.

Inappropriate?Here's what would have been my problem report (thanks, GetSatisfaction, for making it easy to find matching issues!):
I'm told that Amazon has deleted books from customers' Kindles after purchase. See: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/tec...
(Ironically, one of the books involved was "1984.")
How can any book lover possibly consider buying from Amazon without confidence that purchases are final?
This has convinced me to avoid the Kindle and gives me doubts about purchasing other digital downloads from Amazon.
I’m appalled
