I did mis-speak concerning the deletion off the readers. That in fact wasn't the publishers it was Amazon but from this consumers viewpoint there is little difference. I don't remember for sure but expect a publisher was the driving force behind Amazon deleting e-books people had "bought", To give them credit Amazon tried to set a price point for new e-books at 9.99 but the publishers just couldn't have that despite the fact they were making MORE as I remember selling to Amazon than with Agency pricing. All such tactics will do in the long run is drive people more and more to downloading e-books from torrents. All that has limited it so far is people's basic honesty but if they keep gouging their customers they WILL lose them.
