I got a Kindle as a gift a year ago. I’m sure it would be convenient, but I can’t bring myself to pay for a book that, in the physical sense, I can’t keep, underline, pass around. I like to keep them in my library to share with my future gkids. A few years ago, 1984 was removed from peoples Kindles ‘in the middle of the night’...
Interesting. I wonder if it was a copyright issue or someone's idea of a 'preemptive strike', lest more people read it and recognize that we're rushing headlong into the direction depicted in the book?
I used to have a paperback copy from back when I first read it, but lost track of it decades ago. Not long ago, I found a free PDF version on the 'net, and I can read it on either my Kindle or a computer.
Windows 8 also comes with the ability for Microsoft to remove things from your PC, like 1984....
