More ebooks removed from Amazon UK
I posted about David Morrell's First Blood being removed from Amazon UK a few weeks ago, now two Blake Crouch ebooks have also been removed, Abandon and Snowbound. All three of those books are still available on Amazon USA.

Have they been removed from your reader? I am concerned about ebook stores being able to delete things from your reader once they have sold them.

Mr. Ploppy - did you ever try contacting Amazon concerning the Morrell titles to see what the problem was? I was wondering if there was a Publisher out there somewhere who stepped in claiming to have UK digital rights. |

I did buy another ebook recently that had crappy formatting (Topaz) so I sent it back for a refund. That was removed from my device the next time I plugged it into the computer to put something else on it. Which is fair enough I suppose, but it shows that the wifi doesn't need to be on for them to do it. |

If you don't have that app, and you keep wireless switched off on the Kindle, I can't see any way for Amazon to delete things - even though (as you say) they are perfectly entitled to in this case. |
