This TOPIC is right out of the 1984 Orwellian book , think about it, someone "read" a book that he was not suppose to be reading . They broke down the doors and took away his book because it was an illegal book to read by the government. The government had the right to break into his HOUSE and take the book. Now Amazon is not arresting anybody or putting a RAT cage with a Starving RAT inside it and placing it on our FACE , like in the movie of 1984. They just went into your KINDLE and took away the "offending" book! Very Cute. That is why the articles are stating "ironic" amazon story.

So funny that it happened to be 1984 BOOK that this happened with! LOL!

p.s. It's even more frightening that some people think that what Amazon did was right. In the MOVIE the masses were "chanting" whatever the government wanted them to chant. And the book was showing how "truth" didn't mean anything, the bottom line was "whatever the government said, was ALWAYS RIGHT" , and you better know what the government is saying, BECAUSE Big brother is watching. Remember in movie how all the actions were being 'watched', so Amazon IS WATCHING you with your kindle and the PEOPLE that read the BOOK or saw the MOVIE see the startling parallels. It's not your "device" and the content is not your "content" , it is the property of Amazon (government) and whatever they deem is inappropriate will be taken. Case closed.

So, YES it makes me glad that my 505 is not connected to Amazon (Big Brother).

Gee, I'm sure Amazon doesn't need to be tagged with the TERM "Big Brother" , and it has happened lately even before the 1984 book incident a few days ago , but doing the "big brother" type action with the book that started the TERM "BIG BROTHER" , is a PR NIGHTMARE in the extreme and it could STICK.
