Teenager sues Amazon.com…
We haven’t heard the last about Amazon.com’s recent deletion of books from their Amazon Kindle wireless reading devices. Now one teenager has sued Amazon for deleting a book from his Kindle.
According to an article from the CBC:
“A Michigan teenager is launching a class-action lawsuit against online book retailer Amazon, alleging the company rendered his study notes on George Orwell’s 1984 useless when it deleted the novel from his and other customers’ Kindle e-book readers earlier in July.
Justin D. Gawronski, 17, “now needs to recreate all of his studies,” alleges the complaint filed Thursday in Seattle by the law firm KamberEdelson, LLC.

LebroJeem, this is a “class-action lawsuit.” He is filing this suit on behalf of anybody who had books deleted by Amazon on their Kindles. They can join the suit and that could be a painful settlement for Amazon so don’t expect this to end as quickly as you predict.By librojeem

I predict that Amazon’s pockets are deep enough to fund Justin’s college education, and that Amazon will pay it to avoid the additional negative publicity of a court date. Amazon should also send him a deluxe bound “hard copy” of 1984.
