🔗 Amazon to pay $150,000 over Kindle removing 1984
One of the plaintiffs, Justin Gawronski, has a compelling story about his experience with Amazon’s memory hole. Apparently, he was reading his copy of 1984 as a summer assignment for school, and had been using one of the Kindle’s selling points—the ability to attach notes to specific parts of the e-book text—to prepare for his return to school. Since he was actively reading the work when Amazon pulled the plug, he actually got to watch the work vanish from his screen.

Here we go again …

March 11th - it’s a ‘bit of a cheat’ … but arguably still fits into the ‘rules.
March 31st - we did it!
