There is an interesting NY Times article today about Amazon and their Kindle system in the wake of the George Orwell 1984 episode. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/27/technology/companies/27amazon.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss
While Kindle is the only system we use for our books and our company for now because it is the safest system, it is obvious, as the article points out, that the control of the book still lies with Amazon, not the consumer who has paid for the book. One has to wonder how far this could go. I'm sure there are no answers right now as this type of technology is still evolving. But it is definitely food for thought. And a concern that we should all pay attention to.
