Hi all. I have my finger over the order button for a International Kindle and a horrible though has just crossed my mind. I currently use my iPhone and Stanza to read and have had to modify a lot of books to get them to work. DRM, I'm talking about.

What I'm concerned about is if Amazon decides that I don't own whats on the kindle can they remove it at their leisure. Stories of 1984 come to mind. Id hate to get into an argument with them and having to prove ownership of everything I load onto the kindle.

Does anyone know if they can or do remove your own loaded stuff from the kindles memory.
