re: #110 J.S.

The Kindle is the hardware (like an IPod — the device); the software are the “books” in digital/electronic format which you download…and yeah, apparently, they can wipe it off the Kindle, should they choose to do so…(just as Apple could, theoretically, “delete” some apps, the moment you “sync” your IPod)..

I seriously doubt they will use that power again. This was bad publicity for Amazon, and they don’t sell their products when people feel bad about them.
