Paul, what strikes me odd in this story is that it seems Kindle is either always connected or something like that. In general, should I have a thing such as this, I would obviously download books from the store and turn off whatever connectivity the device has. Also, in the case of that person who produced side notes, perhaps in general Kindle should have displayed a message saying that they might want to save their notes aside and then have the book deleted. Although admittedly they say they have refunded all the customers from whom the book was deleted.
