Today, I was pleasantly surprised to see an article on Fast Company about one of my favorite books of all-time, 1984. The article explained how Amazon digitally deleted illegal copies of the book of f of their users’ individual Kindles. This caused an onslaught of negative blog posts towards the online company. Amazon is currently in the process of trying to correct the situation by offering a $30 credit for Amazon products. The irony of the situation makes me laugh.
It is understandable why the company did what it did, but if it wasn’t for the fact that it was 1984, the fiasco would not have been as great. Amazon did the right thing to try to mend the company image.
