Amazon is sure to get some negative feedback for this one — The company has recently announced that they have proceeded to remotely deleted copied purchases of 1984 and Animal Farm from every Kindle that had the books on it.

The reason for deletion is that the publisher decided they no longer wanted to have electronic versions of George Orwell’s books on the market. Thus, Amazon proceeded to delete said books from both their online store and Kindles as I mentioned above.

Just imagine being on the last chapter of the book then waking up next morning to find the eBook has been deleted from your device. Angry much?
