First, we have http://awfullibrarybooks.wordpress.com , a site about really odd, dumb or offensive books that librarians find in the stacks.
Then, from http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technology/companies/18amazon.html?_r=2&hptat we learn that Amazon can delete books from the Kindle, in this case versions of 1984 and Animal Farm that the bookseller claims were published by someone without legal rights to them. While I can understand Amazon stopping offering them, I don’t think that entitles them to confiscate copies from people who’ve already bought them; I’ve had hard copies of various books from publishers engaged in copyright battles over them, and I’m glad no-one can come into my house and yank them off the shelves.
