NOT me, my city library and Amazon trying to stick it's greedy fingers in my pocketbook. That's insane and probably the (first) reason why Penguin pulled their books. Publishers don't want Amazon to have that kind of data access. And neither do I!
You may be pissed at Amazon, but why would Penguin care? Won't Amazon will be sending out emails offering to sell Penguin books to people who are borrowing Penguin books for their Kindles?
