1984 is more iconic, and perhaps more relatable dystopian story than Animal Farm, which is a fable.

But both involve erasing history, which is sort of what Amazon was called out for (did they issue refunds?).

I reported (to publisher as well) a bootleg of Gödel, Escher, Bach. I see it is still listed, but at least says 'The Kindle title is not currently available for purchase'. One bootleg down, 2 million to go (and no doubt ChatGPT creations ramping up).
