I didn't have "Animal Farm" loaded at the time, but... just the fact that Amazon could, at their whim, delete something from your device was enough for me know that I would never again let these devices go online.

I would guess that the reason people complained about "1984" and not so much "Animal Farm" is because removing a book about Big Brother overreach and censorship was just a bit too ironic. or prophetic.
