Those of you who have completely banned any thoughts of buying a Kindle after they removed bought books from readers should get the whole story. Amazon have said they won't repeat this move:

"However Herdener said the company would be altering its policy so that it could block illegal copies, but not take back copies innocently downloaded by customers.
"We are changing our systems so that in the future we will not remove books from customers' devices in these circumstances," he said".
