Ironically, she had to buy the book to read it. The author didn't send them a copy?

  For some definition of "buy" I suppose ... somehow I'm not picturing her Amazon account being suspended when her credit card expiration date passes.

    Having had some cards expire, I can assure you that nobody has their Amazon account suspended when a card expires; that would be insane. Instead, your account works as normal, but you can't use the expired card to pay for anything. Amazon doesn't operate on a tab system. I'm struggling to imagine how you thought using them worked.

      iTunes operates on a bit of an honor system, it seems to use a preauth for a small amount, and then batches following purchases. http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/06/ff_gamed/6/ http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/06/ff_gamed/6/ Of course you will get locked out of updating your iDevices if you have an outstanding balance.

      I understand how Amazon works ... I was implying that it didn't work the same for McKenzie Bezos. (I should have been more clear that I meant purchases suspended rather than the account).
