Fair point.

You have a right to express your opinion that it's ok for Amazon to delete books unasked. And I have a right to express my opinion that it's not ok. |
Of course you don't have to be a registered Kindle owner to complain, and of course non-Kindle owners may have an interest in Kindle topics.
I was just wondering the purpose of the complaining. As I wrote: "Are you hoping to get other Kindle users to join you? Are you hoping Amazon will read your complaints and change their practices? Why not just walk away from Amazon/Kindle and be done with it?"
I see now that your purpose is to vent your dissatisfaction to any who would listen. Peace, Sirtel

Please see my above response to Sirtel. Also, I never said, "You don't get to comment because you don't own Kindle!" Those are your words, not mine.

Yes, I did notice you own a Paperwhite. I should have been more specific in my response. As for "what's it to you?" see my above response to Sirtel.

To clarify: If I delete an ebook (Kindle-purchased or personal document) from my Kindle Content Library, it gets deleted from all devices. But if I simply delete it from one device (i.e., "remove download" or "archive"), nothing will change on my other devices.
