[LM_NET] Amazon pulls e-book from Kindle

[Carrie Gardner <carrieif@AOL.COM>]

Greetings, 

Following this link, one will find an article about a recent incident involving 
Amazon and kindle versions of George Orwell books.? (the fact that Amazon pulled 
Orwell books is an amazing coincidence) .?? The books were 1984 and Animal Farm.? 
Irony is not dead.?? 

This type of incident is more likely to happen as more and more consumers and 
libraries acquire digital copies instead of print copies.?
