There is 1 and exactly 1 circumstance when a company has a right to reach into my hardware and remove something-- and that is when I explicitly ask them to. There are no other circumstances.
And horses eat oats. I just love it when a bunch of folks reiterate each other's self-righteousness and belabor a simple and obvious point.

The fact is, Amazon is a pioneer, it stumbled on a problem, then righted itself. Case closed. Only due to its advanced technology and market share it could have been the first to encounter that problem. What, your reader doesn't have an always on connectivity? So nobody can revoke books from it? Wow!

Huffing and puffing over the revokation of ebook is old. Problem solved, next.
