FLASHBACK: Why Amazon's Kindle Could Fail
Hate to say I told you so, but back in November 2007 (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2007/11/why-amazons-kindle-could-fail.html), I did...
[…when you buy a book for the Kindle, you’re actually buying the right to read that book. The data resides primarily on Amazon’s server and temporarily on the Kindle for access.]
[…Your rights to Kindle ebooks have an undetermined lifespan and are non-transferable. If Amazon loses the right to distribute a book, you could lose the right to read it, since the data resides primarily on their server.]
Yep. you don't own those ebooks and now it's been proven (http://www.gottabemobile.com/2009/07/17/just-because-you-bought-it-doesnt-mean-youll-always-have-it/). Don't say I didn't warn you.

Only if you could use your powers for evil! Then 'we' could be rich I tell you!

There ain't no "we" in evil, but unlike team, there's definitely an "I". ;p
