as i didn't purchase the book/s involved, maybe i don't have, as they say, a dog in this fight... but i'll stick my bit in anyway...

i don't have a problem with what amazon did, but the fact that they were able to enter the kindle and remove the data, WITHOUT asking permission, OR TELLING they were going to, pee's me off!!!

the police in the USA are required a search warrant before they can enter my private property for the purposes of search and seizure, even if they know for sure, what they're looking for is there!

invasion of privacy is the issue here, for me... not the book/s...

we don't allow microsoft to come and go as they wish or our computers? do we? I DON'T!!! why would i allow amazon to check my kindle at will? hmmmm?

give them an inch... well, you know the rest... if they get away with this, who knows where it will lead? hmmm? weekly checks to see what we've hacked?

i don't like it at all!
