Title: Orwellian device
Product review: Amazon has the power to delete books from your Kindle--books you paid money for and that you thought you owned. On July 17, 2009, Amazon used this power to delete unauthorized copies of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and "1984."There is an excellent article in Slate magazine today by Farhad Manjoo about how this technology could be used for censorship. If Amazon can delete a book it believes to be infringing copyright law, then the government can order Amazon to delete a book for other reasons.Don't give the government this kind of control over your bookshelf. Don't order the Kindle or any other device that allows a bookseller or a technology company to control what's on your digital bookshelf.
