Amazon offering 1984 back to Kindle readers
By Paul Biba
That’s what Engadget is reporting, along with the full text of the Amazon email. If you don’t want the book back Amazon will give you either a $30 credit or send you a $30 check, your option. The most interesting thing, I find, is that when Amazon returns the book they will also return any annotations you have made.
Good on you, Amazon!

While this is a good move on Amazon’s part, they should have done this at the time Bezos made his apology, or even sooner (i.e. within days of deleting the content).

I feel so slighted. I have received no such offer from Amazon (they swiped “Animal Farm” from me, as originally report here: http://www.teleread.org/2009/07/17/you-really-dont-own-your-amazon-ebooks/)
I emailed the kindle-response@amazon.com address, and got an automated immediate response back:
“Thanks for indicating your preference to us. We’re working on your request and anticipate to have completed processing within 7 days. We will contact you if we require more information to complete your request.”
whatever…
