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.

How perfect is it that this happened over digital copies of '1984'?

That was my thought. I mean, the jokes just write themselves. (And did, all over BoingBoing.)
