I have been using Amazon's Kindle for years; I love reading books on mine. But as I've been thinking about ownership, digital content, and the power that Amazon has, I've decided to stop buying (or licensing) Kindle books. I talk about some of the problems Kindle has – the ability to revoke content, edit books after you buy them, and revise their terms of service – and then talk about some concrete steps I'm taking next.
