It seems that the Kindle’s cracked screens aren’t the only thing Amazon is getting sued about. This time, a 17 year old high school student is sueing Amazon because they deleted his homework, literally.

If you’ll recall a while back, Amazon, without notice, deleted digital copies of George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm from every Kindle that had it. Well the 17 year old in question was reportedly using the Kindle to take notes on 1984 for a summer assignment. Once the book was deleted, so were his notes, leading the teen to bring forth such a lawsuit.

The law suit seeks not only punitive damages but also seeks to forbid Amazon from doing the same thing in the future.

It seems that a 15 year old girl by the name of Alexa Longueira was minding her own business walking down the street texting without looking infront of her. While looking down at her phone she couldn’t see the open manhole that she then proceeded to fall into.

Despite her only scraping her back and shoulders, she remained physically unharmed. However, her mother told officials that she was mentally harmed as the sewer was ‘putrid’ and the fact that she lost a shoe while down there. This has lead the family to announce they will sue due to the incident.

I can just see it now, a new law being passed that prohibits youths from texting while walking. Then again, this is no ones fault other than the teenagers.
