Is Amazon revoking the concept of owning a book?

[Anonymous]

Are you okay with Amazon editing books you paid for?

No. Unless you were born in a barn, you should understand that every digital product - be it a book, game, music or whatever, was ALWAYS the property of the maker.

It's in the service agreement that you always scroll past to click "I agree".

99% of the time, a maker will loosely enforce the terms of the agreement.

Hence, you're a fool for thinking you ever owned an Apple or Amazon app, book or whatever. Just as Apple can remove any app, book, music or whatever from the store or your device, so can Amazon and Google.

Louis already radicalized me to be pro ownership as far as that's possible especially since I already had things taken from me. So this kind of stuff just means i'd never buy it.

I understand owning printed media because there are people out there who don't want you to think critically, so they can kick the ladder down so you can stay a dumb consumer buying their watered streaming services or modified books.

I haven't collected a lot of Blu-rays, but I have a good amount of books.

For me its all digital, but if I want to preserve it and own it its digital in a form I control.
