Bye, bye, Amazon Kindle.

I've been lusting after the Kindle DX for months now. I'd planned a purchase this fall as a birthday gift to myself, but no more. Amazon, a company whom I had generally trusted, has really disappointed me with this one.

1. Publishers publish Kindle books.
2. Kindle users buy ebooks.
3. Publishers feel flip-floppy and decide to stop selling certain ebooks.
4. Amazon reverses the sale of those ebooks, refunding the purchase price and deleting them from users' Kindles and account archives without any warning or explanation.

Now, are you ready for a killer dose of irony? The books were George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm.
