From Today's NYT:
In George Orwell’s “1984,” government censors erase all traces
of news articles embarrassing to Big Brother by sending them
down an incineration chute called the “memory hole.”
On Friday, it was “1984” and another Orwell book, “Animal
Farm,” that were dropped down the memory hole —
by Amazon.com.
In a move that angered customers and generated waves of
online pique,Amazon remotely deleted some digital editions of
the books from the Kindledevices of readers who had bought
them. . .
