Sounds like a rather well designed offering, pricing seems to be fine as well.
But imagine the horror if your kids most sacred book gets removed from the offering by amazon and there is nothing you can do to fix this (besides buying the paper version, maybe). But would your kid know how to use it?
- yearofthespider 7y agoAmazon took the 1984 incident very seriously, so I think it's exceptionally unlikely to recur.
- AJ007 7y agoI can’t speak for books, but I’ve had music vanish from my library and videos I purchased cease being available for viewing. The music admittedly I noticed was missing, emailed support, and it reappeared.
- chance_state 7y agoWhat do you mean by "they took [it] very seriously"? I have absolutely zero trust in Amazon to be fair or reasonable, so I pirate the ebook then buy the paperback.
- scrollaway 7y agoI agree with you. Thankfully, the kindle ebook format has been entirely reverse engineered and the encryption is easy to crack (you can find your own account key very quickly). Kindles are also very easy to root. That personally gives me enough confidence to buy into the ecosystem but it sucks these aren't consumer guarantees in the first place…
