I find this behavior outrageous. I expect Amazon to inform me before purchasing the Kindle that all electronic files purchased through their store are subject to their deletion. There needs to be full disclosure up front on this. At least that way I can understand that I don't fully own the device or its contents, that Amazon is the big chip in the sky that decides what gets to stay on it and for what duration.

Apple is doing a similar thing with iPhone apps, where they claim to have the ability and right to remove it from your phone.

As for the examples given to describe this behavior, Sonist's examples are much more appropriate, hence the justifiable hysteria.
