$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

When Amazon removed 1984 from Kindle, I thought that’s it I’m done. That is too ironic, DRM free for me. Nobody’s going to remove my books

I believe it was Sea of Sorrows for me. The first time I contacted them asking what was up, since I wanted to read the book I had purchased earlier that year. They “gave” it to me as a “one time exception.”

I never purchased a digital book again. Though I did still contact them again later that year, asking why it was gone yet again.

They tried to give me a “this may be an updated version” and I was like “no, this is a fucking novel based on a video game, they aren’t releasing new versions every few months like textbooks.”

Ironic but “Fahrenheit 451” being destroyed from Kindle would have been even more perfectly on the nose.

True. But 1984 is still pretty strong, memory holes, double think, denying reality. Fascist organizations dictating what people can know, say, think, remember.

That’s very much on the nose. But regardless, huge massive red flag, you don’t own something that you have in your library unless it’s physical and can’t be removed at a whim.
