You need to keep in mind that they definitely know everything about your sideloaded books because they analyse the metadata. However, they don't really care if you pirated the books, the reasons are already listed above.

Supposedly, they learned from this and created new processes to deal with similar future situations. I do not believe that there has been a similar complaint since. Last edited by BiliBug; 11-29-2020 at 12:28 PM. |

They probably could, but they probably won't.
Might require a ToS change, but that's not really much of a hurdle. |

They should have fixed it by pulling money from the illegal vendor and then purchasing rights from the correct vendor, all behind the scenes without affecting the customer. Instead, they reached out into people's devices and deleted books (and the accompanying user written notes) and never replaced them. Not something I want to own. If they had deleted books from people's accounts but left them on the devices, I'd forgive them. Last edited by compurandom; 11-29-2020 at 03:06 PM. |
