I'm not in favor of censoring, but it's easy to punish Amazon if you don't like their policy ............buy elsewhere.  Money talks, always.  If you need to feel especially principled, email them and tell them to f-ck off you'll spend elsewhere.....a private company has every right to censor and I have every right not to patronize them.

Some clarification is needed: Amazon was engaging in censorship by deleting material from already-sold Kindles after the material itself had been sold to its customers. I agree with you that Amazon can sell whatever it likes, but it certainly cannot take back what it has sold after-the-fact. And the worst of it is that Amazon has not apparently offered any refund to these customers.

Yeah that's a problem, E.......I've heard of stuff vanishing from Kindles......
