    A hosting provider always has the ability to change what’s on their infrastructure. The Kindle store is no different.

    As it happens, they’ve been doing this for years. For example, the price you set as an author is not fixed nor is how it turns up on the page or how and when it’s promoted.

    The standard ebook format is essentially a zipped up series of text files.

      Its just a bitter taste, thinking about how a few companies can lay words into the mouth of people they did not even say, years after they died

      I would rather just have them Ban the books, because then you can see how they are manipulating the information you see.
