Kindle? No Thanks.
I was seriously thinking about asking for a Kindle as a gift for Christmas. They’re a little steep, but I would love to be able to buy and read books without lugging around the weight of the books. That was until I read these two stories.
It seems that Amazon is selling e-books for their wildly popular Kindle and then stealing them back from the consumer (with a refund) by deleting them from their customers’ Kindles with a remote kill switch. Imagine if you bought a book from a brick and mortar store, then woke up one night to find the sales clerk or manager digging through your book shelves to reclaim the latest Stephen King book you brought home a few weeks ago. I imagine someone would get thier sorry ass shot for stealing books back, even if they meant to leave your cash on your shelf in place of the book.
As far as I’m concerned, Amazon is stealing from their faithful customers. What else will they do with the Kindle in the future? I can’t wait to see how else they will screw over their customers. I’m not going to be one of them. That’s for sure.
