This thread is silly. Jeff Bezos personally apologized for a technical action taken without his knowledge by mistake (by lower-level folks without thinking things through), and now the enetrprising student had made $150K on his notes.

The fact is that Kindle leads the market, and provides a testbed for the novel cases like removal of content which proves illegal after it's admitted into the system. Same as Apple Store -- it's bound to had happened, and someone had to learn the lesson.

As to the unwarranted generalization, one can simply observe that it's your loss, and nothing to be really proud of or brag about. "Why I'm still right that I didn't buy a boat."
