If I had read this before, I am not so sure I'd have purchased my K2.
The filtering bothers me way more than this, but I'm trying to reserve judgement. A lot will depend on what the system is like when it's done. I can see how the "glitch" could truly have been a simple programming error. Right now there's so much speculation about what they were trying to do. I will wait to see what they actually do.

As for banning customers, I've worked with the public enough to know that the customer isn't always right and sometimes you have to cut some loose. What I want to see is Amazon find a way to not screw them out of purchased content and possibly let them continue to buy Kindle content. I think that would be fair: a limited access account. I hope they issue some sort of statement soon. Now that this has hit popular blogs like Gizmodo and Consumerist, I think they had better.
