I think that's an important point. I know Amazon promised they'd never do this again, but mistakes happen. It's outrageous (IMO) that the technology is designed to give the supplier control of the content on my device.
It's one of the oddest things - no-one at all (never mind no-one in their right minds) would think it was OK to walk into people's homes, offices etc, and grab back books they'd bought. To design and build support for the electronic equivalent says some very unpleasant things about the mindset behind it. I like Amazon, been a customer for 10 years or more, but I don't like to see them setting themselves up as a shill for Big Content.
