1984 was yanked from ALL kindles this past year.

Very upsetting to a lot of folks and certainly irritating for Amazon.

There wasn’t much that could be done - it was a legal matter.

Just sayin’.

If you backed your kindle book files up on your PC, they might be able to yank it off the Kindle, but you could put it right back. They couldn’t do it again until you turned on your WhisperNet, if at all.

"1984 was yanked from ALL kindles this past year."

Can you source that?
