Now that is interesting, because I can't say I've really heard of Amazon deleting peoples' books for no reason (or any reason at all, aside for that one incident with the illegally-submitted book). 
But let's be honest. The problem you mention has absolutely nothing to do with Amazon, and everything to do with "ebookstore".
Are you seriously suggesting that Amazon's closed system, moreso than every other ebookstore out there, which are all just as much of a closed system, will swallow up peoples' annotations?
You must be suggesting it -- since you seem to be tying Amazon's not-the-EPUB-"standard" format to their "closed" system (as though there were such thing as an open one to compare it to) and coming out with "Amazon is unusually dangerous".
You are comparing Apples to oranges.
As DiapDealer said, the unusual person who cares one way or the other, will most likely already be dealing with the problem.
And once again I call foul over your claim that Amazon is "disappearing" your books.
I may be misjudging you, sorry -- but I really haven't heard of this ever happening before. Ever.
Until just around now, actually. Now two people are claiming the same thing. Here's the other guy: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=3183085
Anyway -- I want to know why no one else has ever heard of this phenomenon in the past.  |
The only time I have run across non-existent books was when I went to leave a review.
Now I have had books not show up in an archive or the cloud. Problem solved by contacting Amazon who immediately pushed the book or books in one case to the device of my choice. Note at that point I had over 7000 ebooks.
