I think of receiving books by wireless from Amazon like getting an email on my computer. I have control over my email, I can block, filter or opt-out any time. Getting books should be like getting email. I am the only one that gets to decide when I delete an email. Same for books.

As for deleting content automatically, I assumed that it is My Kindle, not Amazon that is auto-deleting subscription content, not a push from Amazon but I could be wrong.
