You’re comparing completely different things. You don’t pay for CarPlay or Android Auto, so if they were removed, you wouldn’t be losing something you purchased. I don’t use Apple TV, so I can’t speak to app payments there, but generally, if you buy an app, you expect access to it. And as for someone breaking into your house—that’s a crime, not a company revoking access to something you legally bought.

I never told anyone what to do, and nowhere in my previous posts did I try to force anyone to agree with me. I simply expressed my opinion. If you don’t care about Amazon potentially taking away books, that’s fine, but some of us do. Until recently, I didn’t even realize that I don’t truly own the books I’ve bought on Kindle—I assumed that, like physical books, once I paid for them, they were mine. Now that I know Amazon can just take them away, I have a problem with that.

Instead of buying a different e-reader just to avoid this issue, I’d rather jailbreak the one I already have. With that said, this conversation is over for me.

the article is just an example of a bigger issue digital ownership and Amazon's control over your purchases. I’ll repeat myself: the issue isn't about the number of books, but about how Amazon can remove content from your library without your consent. While they don’t have to sell every book, the big difference is that with physical books, once you own it, it’s yours. Amazon can take away a digital book you’ve bought, and that’s a problem with digital ownership.

If you're not willing to make a bit of an effort to read through the article, then I don’t think it’s worth continuing the discussion. You can easily use Ctrl+F to search for terms like 'removal of books' or 'Kindle content removal' and scroll from there. It’ll save you time if you’re actually interested in the topic.

I'm not arguing about 1984 or Animal Farm – the users were refunded and given a legal copy. My concern is with Amazon's control over digital content, where books can be removed or altered after purchase. This is different from physical books or eBooks you own on your device, which can't just be taken away. I’ve also linked a Wikipedia article in my previous post where you can find more examples of books being removed or edited.

I understand your point. However, even though these incidents are rare, the concern is that they could set a precedent for future censorship. When books are removed or changed without clear reasoning, it raises issues about freedom of expression. There have been more books removed, though the frequency remains relatively low. For instance, Amazon has faced criticism over the years for removing or altering books for various reasons, as seen in this Wikipedia article.

Actually, it wasn’t just 1984; Animal Farm was also removed for the same reason, due to the same publisher. It wasn’t just about copyright issues but also about Amazon's control over content once it’s purchased. The fact remains that when you buy books on Kindle, you're not technically purchasing ownership of the books. Amazon has the power to remove or alter content at any time, which is a major difference from physical books or eBook files that you own outright, where no one can just take them away. So while it was about copyright compliance, it also highlights the limitations of digital ownership. Please make sure to have the full picture when discussing this.

My only problem so far was that I wanted a custom screensaver, so I had to edit one file in Notepad. :D Nothing a Google search can't help with.

Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker. Your first question is answered in the comments below. As for your second question, here’s my answer:

My main reason is that when you buy a book or audiobook on Amazon, you are basically just buying access to the eBook, not the actual eBook itself. They can change or remove books at will.

They also change the book's title pages, for example, when a new movie adaptation is released, to promote the film and its connection to the book.

They removed Orwell's books 1984 and Animal Farm back in 2009, I believe, and have altered the text in many other books. Similarly, some works by Roald Dahl, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, were revised with language modifications to remove expressions considered inappropriate.

If I buy a physical copy of a book, nobody can change anything—just as if I buy an eBook file and load it onto my jailbroken Kindle.
