I have no issue with what Amazon did in this instance, but I think they're underestimating the PR hit they are going to take over this. Even people I know who aren't paranoid are creeped out by the notion that Amazon can reach out and delete material from Kindles. This is a story that will not go away, it's taking on a life of its own, and it's going to ultimately hurt their market share. All IMO, of course. Just reading the tea leaves here.
