Some E-Books Are More Equal Than Others
,----[ Quote ]
| But no, apparently the publisher changed its mind about offering an
| electronic edition, and apparently Amazon, whose business lives and dies by
| publisher happiness, caved. It electronically deleted all books by this
| author from people’s Kindles and credited their accounts for the price.

,----[ Quote ]
| In an irony-filled moment that underlines the flaws of our increasingly
| digital society, Amazon has removed George Orwell's 1984 from America's
| Kindle ebook readers.

Amazon Kindle powered by Linux, FSF not impressed
,----[ Quote ]
| Amazon is also using BusyBox (how can you not if you're running embedded?),
| so it's a good thing they've released that code - BusyBox has been active in
| recent years by way of the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) in making sure
| that vendors that use their code actually comply with the GPL.

Impeach Bezos for Amazon's Kindle Swindle
,----[ Quote ]
| We hope he gets the message that he's swindling his customers and in the
| process undermining important fundamental freedoms to read and share. Amazon
| seems to understand this message when it comes to music -- why don't they get
| it when it comes to the Kindle?
