The "Kindle" is a nifty computer type tablet with a solid distribution network letting you purchase more and more and more "books", and read them on the screen. ------- summary: Due to some legal and copyright issue whose specifics aren't quite clear yet, Amazon _deleted_ copies of "books" that people had already downloaded. Eyup. Not future copies, but ones you had already purhcased and downloaded. (Now how many people even knew that could happen?). In a unique bit of irony, the books in question included a version of...
