Barnes & Noble's Nook, Reviewed
harrymcc writes "Barnes & Noble's Nook — the most significant e-reader since Amazon's original Kindle — hits B&N's retail stores today. I've published an extensive review of the device, which is also the first e-reader to run Google's Android OS: It's an interesting and capable gadget in many ways, but the interface — which is sluggish and somewhat quirky — isn't polished enough to render it a Kindle killer."
If you bought a stolen physical book, that book can be taken back from you.
The fact that its unlikely to happen is not relevant to the discussion.
Amazon did better than you'd get if you bought stolen goods -- they refunded the money. If you bought virtually any other stolen item, you'd be out the item and your money.
Yes they did. They bought a book being sold by someone who didn't have rights to it, its every bit as stolen as buying a screener from some dude on the street in NYC.
