This is why you should always have local copies of any digital books with their DRM broken. I crack every single book I get. As long as it is DRM’d, it’s not really yours.

I LOVE IT!!!!

People jump HEAD FIRST into this crap and it never occurs to them that a SINGLE COMMAND can wipe out everything she has.

She is an IDIOT and deserves her punishment.

How Farenheit 451 will work in the 21st century. Trick everyone into putting all literary knowledge on electronic devices. Then wipe it blank.

I agree with you that amazon doesn’t want to stop sales. The point is that if these had been physical, paper books, this deletion could not have happened.
