Oh, ya. This hits home. We have too many schools around my area that want to ban Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn from schools because their use of the N-Word.
These same schools had banned (for a little while) all the Tarzan books because they thought that Tarzan and Jane were living together but weren't married (they confused the books with the movies - they are married in the books).
The fear that the book you read tomorrow will be different than the book you read today is a very real fear. With pBooks, the probability of that happening is low. But with eBooks, it becomes very easy to do such a thing.
