Until I get some guareentee that I will not wake up some morning and discover that Amazon had deleted books that I had bought from them - http://ulyssesonline.com/2009/07/18/amazon-can-reclaim-your-book/ - If I remember correctly they did this in 2009 with a copy of, appropiately enough, of George Orwell's 1984.
