K-news: Amazon doesn’t like Google settlement—plus DX due to be back in stock on June 22

By David Rothman

“There are many forces of work looking at that and saying it doesn’t seem right that you should do something, kind of get a prize for violating a large series of copyrights," Jeff Bezos says.

Translation? “I’m worried if the Kindle will ultimately be able to show off all books.”

In other Kindle news, the DX is sold out, but as of this writing, Amazon says it’ll be back in stock on June 22.
