Orwell books removed from Amazon...

 Amazon fended off Saturday accusations of Big Brother-like behavior after it quietly erased two George Orwell books from customers' electronic book readers this week.
   
From Thursday, customers on Amazon's web forums said copies of the British author's dystopian classics "Animal Farm" and "Nineteen Eighty-Four" were mysteriously wiped from their Kindle devices.   

The online retailer later told CNET the books were uploaded by a publisher who did not have reproduction rights and so they were deleted. More...

Don't miss:

  1. Today, 60 years ago, George Orwell's 1984...
  2. 1984, George Orwell's dying legacy...
  3. George Orwell died today, 59 years ago...
  4. You are a slave to the government...
