For Kindle editions, there is no First Sale Doctrine, and no physical book for me to resell, but they can make it go away and give me a refund. So how about Amazon learns from its newly-acquired Zappos's 365 day return policy and lets Kindle users return books they don't want? That could justify keeping the remote deletion feature on the Kindle.
In what sense would can a digital purchase be returned? A 'used' item has a depreciated value, a new and a used digital book are identical.
ReplyDeleteActually, there's a policy of Kindle books being returnable for 7 days after purchase.
ReplyDeleteI do like Zappo's policy a digital bit better :-)
