Wow!

THIS is something entirely new, and kind of disturbing. The publisher changed their mind?!! If this is precedent-setting, I'd never buy another Kindle, just on principle. And, frankly, I hope some hungry attorney's secretary bought the titles, so we can see a class action on this.

And of course, the irony of it:

"... You want to know the best part? The juicy, plump, dripping irony?

The author who was the victim of this Big Brotherish plot was none other than George Orwell. And the books were “1984” and “Animal Farm.”"
