Food for thought...

Of course they won't. Not unless the totalitarian supremacy from '1984' actually does come to pass. But currently? No.
Not physical books. Now, e-books, by Amazon's own words, they are willing to do just that very thing. I will never own a device like that.
What if a writer publishes an ebook that decries and undermines/exposes the Obama regime. I purchase it to see what the hubbub i about. The government steps in and orders a federal mandate to Amazon to remove the book and all copies from Kindles. Or the government 'persuades' the publisher to do the same.
The fact that they CAN and WILL do such a thing makes me never want to own a Kindle. I have never bought anything from Amazon. Unbelievable though it may seem. And with this, I never will.
