I was thinking about getting a kindle until Amazon decided to delete purchased books from Kindle devices that users had purchased without warning. That the book was 1984 is beyond ironic. Now Amazon says that they cross their heart and hope to die and stick a needle in their eye won't ever do this again. I also promise that I will never ever buy a kindle from Amazon. Who knew that whispernet was just another way to monitor users and subject you to the arbitrary whim on whether you really own what you buy. I want to spend $300 on that. Oh wait, can they take the device back too?
