It’s happened more than once.
Users who buy a book in a foreign country have lost the book when they got home.
Amazon accused them of flouting jurisdictions and trying to buy something not for sale in their country.
In fairness, there’s an audiobook I really, really want that isn’t available in the US Audible store, but is available in foreign Audible stores.
I really really want this book - it’s a poem I really love recited by a voice actor I really love.
But if I purchase it on a trip, or use a VPN Amazon could kill my entire Kindle/Audible collection.
So I bought the audio cassette on eBay.
- gambiting 4y agoThat's not even remotely the same. That's like saying you "lose" your driving licence if you move to a foreign country(because it stops being valid). Those users still own the books they bought, they can only access them in regions where they bought them because that's the limit of the digital licence on the product - nothing has been removed from their library, it just became inaccessible temporarily(while they reside elsewhere).
