How very typical - two steps forward for the environment and the advancement of literacy / accessibility and then the great salivating pig of consumerism (Amazon or any large corp.) has to 'step-in' and *%#* it all up!! Always this is the way. Is it a coincidence that the books deleted were 1984 & Animal Farm?!?! I think the universe is trying to tell us something here people!!
Were is the line between individual privacy and media/marketing research?!? Apparently we allowed it to disappear when along came all the the gossip mongering and marketing research companies. 'It might lead to something better, bigger, newer...' regardless of the cost or environmental impact. We let these companies into our lives without questioning how it would change our perceptions. And those that cautioned and asked> where will this lead? should we be all consuming? is my neighbours business, my business? what about privacy? < they were shouted down and reviled for 'getting in the way of progress' *stupid*
