As I read the story, her Kindle developed dark lines across the page but was still functional and she was still reading on it while trying to get a replacement. After she contacted Amazon about a replacement, her account was closed and the 40 or so ebooks on that defective Kindle were deleted. To quote Cory Doctorow's article: "Her account was closed, and her Kindle was remotely wiped." To quote Martin Bekkelund's article: "Amazon just closed her account and wiped her Kindle. Without notice. Without explanation."
The emails sent by Amazon.co.uk's Michael Murphy left me with the impression that Franz Kafka's
The Trial was on his required reading list.
