Amazon Secretly Removes "1984" From the Kindle

shocking, but seriouisly why do you people support amazon?..
i get all my ebooks from torrent sites, they aint getting a penny from me

so what

George got his entire idea for the story from out of the Bible, so if you like 1984, you would LOVE the Bible, because itis much much much WORSE

yes

"No loyalty except loyalty to the Party" sounds familiar

Yes, but if I bought a hard copy of your book, I would still own the book and the right to read it regardless of what happened to you and your wife.

This is why digital data is dangerous, it can be edited, withdrawn or its distribution and access controlled.

Online services and 'the cloud' should be avoided.

Still have my copy. But thanks for getting me all paranoid.

and while we were all too busy reading our selection of books which kindle offered us we didn't even notice that those same books were removed from the library shelves...
..one day, we will go looking for a solid 'real' version of those books we heard about in a distant rumour and we will find that our libraries have also been re-moved..
then we'll be told those books never really existed in the first place

and your next guest may steal your book
Matthew 6:19-21
King James Version (KJV)

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

I've had Animal Farm and 1984 in my kindle app for a long time. Both are still present in my library.

Nothing removed from me.

..this is a 2009 story..
An Amazon spokesman, Drew Herdener, said in an e-mail message that the books were added to the Kindle store by a company that did not have rights to them, using a self-service function. “When we were notified of this by the rights holder, we removed the illegal copies from our systems and from customers’ devices, and refunded customers,” he said.

Amazon effectively acknowledged that the deletions were a bad idea. “We are changing our systems so that in the future we will not remove books from customers’ devices in these circumstances,” Mr. Herdener said.

Customers whose books were deleted indicated that MobileReference, a digital publisher, had sold them. An e-mail message to SoundTells, the company that owns MobileReference, was not immediately returned.

..if anyone ever bothers to read your agreement with Amazon/Kindle, you agreed to allowing access and removal of material provided/supplied via Amazon. This was a digital recall of a illegal product, the rights to sell 1984 was not held by the seller.

..If this bothers you, rethink the "cloud" computing method(s)...are you backing up your data to a 3rd party? If you think it can't be accessed/deleted etc., your wrong. Don't lose sleep over it, just be aware who you allow to enter/save/collect your data, books etc. Amazon didn't hack into anything, you invited them in as part of a sales agreement.

This is why I only buy good old fashioned books..... I don't care if they take up tons of space, they are all worth it.

yes

Satan and his children are clearing the way to build their nest here on Earth, because they know theyare never going to get into Heaven, thus we and all that was we will be utterly removed.

There willnot be one single Christian left on the Earth, within a very short time now, if we donot get back to the arms of our Father and His only begotten son, our brother and saviour, Jesus.

Since wewillnot do it willingly Father is going to help us:

So i guess this isnot the End Times, yet, sadly.- just another war.

We still have a long ways to go, and that is going to be toughest of all, but just until we win the war, then things will get back to freedom-living . . . until we forget . . . again . . . then the "End Times" . . . maybe.

OH YEAH! The United States Of America is in fact a Christian Nation:

better book than both of these is Ira Levins "This Perfect Day". about rfid, chemical control, computers that follow nd "approve" everthing, and a society run by the elite for "our own good". great read and really really freaky how accurate his portrayal of the future truly was!
