Re: [iPad] OT: list

 

Amazon has some rights over the books but being very customer service oriented they rarely exercise.

They could for example if there was a legal dispute that a publisher sold you a book they did not have the right to remove the book because they were legally compelled to. This happened and they issued refunds to the affected people for example.

They could zap your book and replace it with a later revision with additional or deleted material or typos fixed.

If Amazon felt you were dishonestly copying your books they could cancel your Kindle account and delete all books.

But they would enrage customers and get bad publicity so exercising this right is not risk free to Amazon.

Some organizations are fighting for the right of consumers to have more rights and even resell things. If you bought a CD after you listened to it you could sell it to a second hand store. With iPad music you cannot. If you bought a novel you could sell it to a second hand store or donate to library. Some people want digital media to have same rights. I heard about this on NPR.

I have some recollection that Amazon still have some sort of ownership over the ebooks.   Am I correct?   I have a kindle but have never found a way to move books so that I only have the unread items displayed.   Some have mysteriously moved to archive. Any suggestions appreciated.  Maureen

What is going on? for the last week or so I am getting much less mail from this list. I am disappointed.
I do have a question though. If I put the Kindle app on my Kindle, iPad, and computer and I download a book;for example, could I download the same thing on each device? What is the difference between paid and free items?
TIA
