It’s pretty cool how things we purchase can just lose functionality at the drop of a hat.

This is a good reason not to buy a kindle, or another one if you have one already. If they're doing this they'll just as easily steal the books I bought when they randomly decide to.
They already did. 1984 of all books, too.
I only buy authors that refuse to DRM their work.
Jokes on them, i actually own my epubs
Gotta love Calibre.
Agreed. Its really annoying since i love the Paperwhite. But I just don't trust Amazon as a company.
There was a bunch of noise over a book that they rescinded from Kindles a couple / few years ago. I don't recall the details, but it made headlines.
It was 1984. Surprise!
