What is the Opposite of Progress?



Amazon.com is reportedly un-publishing some eBooks.


"This morning, hundreds of Amazon Kindle owners awoke to discover that books by a certain famous author had mysteriously disappeared from their e-book readers. These were books that they had bought and paid for—thought they owned.


But no, apparently the publisher changed its mind about offering an electronic edition, and apparently Amazon, whose business lives and dies by publisher happiness, caved. It electronically deleted all books by this author from people’s Kindles and credited their accounts for the price."



I'm not a fan of Amazon the stock in here. Not even close. I have no game this morning so feel free to ignore that.
