okay, i can not articulate a post about the new fucking headesploding amazon fail that is so big i need a word bigger than fail to describe it. cataclysm? I JUST I DONT EVEN FUCKING KNOW.


I've been really WTFAMAZON since the damn kindle, which seemed like a great idea done horribly wrong, yay ebooks, boo proprietary drm bullshit. I do nnot understand paying more money to have access only to what the manufacturer wants you to have when my netbook was cheaper than a kindle and can handle multiple ebook files, just not kindle files.


but i stil gave amazon my money from time to time, in areas unrelated to books. just yesterday i paid amazon for a downloaded album, even. but no fricking more.

no, because if a publisher pulls a printed book, only the copies up for sale would be yanked, not the ones already sold and in possession of the consumer.

Also, an author friend of mine just signed her Kindle contract, and is super not amused and suspicious of this, because it seems there is not anything in their contract actually permitting them to do what they did.
