This is nonsense not worth answering. What bit do you not get about that Amazon is deleting non-loan material?
However, neither DRM nor "loans" gives Amazon any rights to delete content on a users device. They need a court order in most countries.
Other ebook libraries don't delete random content from your ereader or app.
How many of these kindle users even use KU?
The normal DRM method on
loaned material is that it won't open when expired, which is presumably why you can't change the date on most Kindles.
I oppose DRM on bought content. I think DRM on borrowed/loaned/rented content is entirely reasonable and sufficent.
