No. Amazon Kindle’s sales are driven by price.
The “call back” function to wipe the material off your device at the publisher or Amazon’s request is a sticking point for me. It should also be a concern for the politically incorrect. Publish a book, distribute on millions of eReaders, have the publisher or Amazon cave on censorship, and with an IT command, the reading material disappears off those screens.
The print books, however, are still in human hands and available to their minds.
By print books of material at risk of recall or censorship - it will be the only way to keep it. And to check against the endless editing that the digital world is increasingly subject to.

I am familiar with this topic. I wrote: Amazon Kindle Publishing for Idiots Expanded Edition

Thanks for that - it happened to “1984” within the last year. What about the Kindle books downloaded to the desktop computer version (which I have)?

About to check out your book!
