qos: Fire breathing dragon (Grumpy- Not in a Good Mood)
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.
