No matter what other errors the EFF article's made, one thing is quite certain - Amazon CAN remotely kill any books it doesn't approve of on a device, and has already done so once before, so they've both the capability and the willingness to do so. That's enough to get my paranoia-triggers going, more so than Sony or B&N have done to date with their own ebook readers.

The nook latest Sony have Wi-Fi and new to it, so they didn't have the ability until now. Let's hope they have learned from Amazon's mistake but if you're going to be paranoid, keep your trigger ready.
