Kindle Content is Now "Licensed" Not Sold

[qos]

I just looked up the book "How We Learn to Be Brave" on Amazon (because I've been using a Kindle as long as they've been available), and found this notice, which I'd never seen before: "By placing your order, you're purchasing a license to the content and you agree to the Kindle Store Terms of Use."

When I clicked the Terms of Use, updated December 31, 2024, I found this: "Use of Kindle Content. Kindle Content is licensed, not sold, to you by the Content Provider." Which I presume means the license can be revoked at any time.

Which I also presume means that any content deemed objectionable by Bezos and Cronies can be yanked from us at any time, without recourse.

I had already cancelled my Prime membership and have been ordering from other places. This is the nail in the coffin of my relationship with Amazon.

Ugh! Thank you for making me aware of this. I don't have a Kindle, but I have a few things I use the Kindle app on my phone to read. I'm not buying any more from them.
