It’s a bit inconsistent to get hot and bothered about Amazon’s ability to do this with the Kindle, when companies have the same abilities to alter, delete, and steal your data from your computers, mobile phones, PDAs, etc.

Computers have the ability to produce hardcopy, or to store backups of data on removable media.

Are you trying to tell me that Microsoft can erase all of my DVDs?
