An Amazon Kindle user has had her account wiped and all her paid-for books deleted by Amazon without warning or explanation. The Norwegian woman, identified only as Linn on media commentator Martin Bekkelund's blog, approached Amazon when she realised her Kindle had been wiped. She was informed by a customer relations executive that her account had been closed, all open orders had been cancelled and all her content had been removed, but has been unable to find out why. The move, which will shock ebook fans, highlights the power digital rights management (DRM) offers blue-chip companies. DRM is used by hardware manufacturers and publishers to limit the use of digital content once it has been purchased by consumers; in Amazon's case, it means the company can prevent you from reading content you have bought at the Kindle store on a rival device. When Linn queried to which “directly related” account Amazon was referring, what had happened, and whether there was anything she could do to get her access reinstated, www.solitaryisle.shop the online giant replied by saying it was “unable to provide detailed information” and reiterated her account would not be reopened. According to Amazon's Kindle Store terms of use, “Kindle content is licensed, not sold”. Technology writer Cory Doctorow suggested “the policy violation that Linn stands accused of is using a friend's UK address to buy Amazon UK English Kindle books from Norway”. Under Amazon's rules, this type of action is barred, as the publisher seeks to control what content is read in which territory of the world. In 2009, Amazon was forced to apologise for deleting books written by George Orwell from customers' Kindle devices without their knowledge following a rights issue (the books were added to its Kindle store by a third-party who did not have the rights to them). Company founder Jeff Bezos said the move was “stupid” and “thoughtless”. This data has been created wi th the help of G SA Content Generator Dem oversi on. external page
Put some creative muscle behind your choices. A good gift makes her smile with appreciation. A great gift is a reflection of how much she means to you. Think big picture. Make it something she’d never buy herself, something that’s personal, beautiful, and dare we say, impractical. Because trust us that no one, regardless of what she may tell you, wants a blender or an air purifier. Or, for that matter, stripper lingerie. A great gift is one that’s carefully considered - intimate, thoughtful, and resonant. Yes, finding the best birthday or Mother’s Day gifts from her husband (or partner) takes time. And yes, it takes effort. But that’s all the more reason to put creative muscle behind picking out just the right gifts for your wife, especially if she’s a new mom. And here’s an easy tip: Whatever else you do, don’t get her a bathrobe. Memories are fleeting. No, she won't remember when the first tooth popped up.
So get her a keepsake box that stores memories forever. It's got room for everything from the first sonogram to the favorite lovey. There are acid-free drawers, vertical files for documents, and mini envelopes, plus illustrated labels so nothing goes amiss. The pearl is a symbol of perfection. And each one is unique. Just like her, dare we say. These earrings feature two 3mm genuine freshwater pearls set in 14 karat gold. It's a keepsake she'll wear all day every day. Not only will this bottle of bath oil look gorgeous next to the bath, but it will leave her feeling renewed, thanks its key ingredients: Essential oils of lemon, lavender, and verbena. How creatively thoughtful: Each sterling silver necklace opens to showcase a rolled fortune scroll. You can choose an existing message, or write your own. La Perla is to lingerie what BMW is to cars. You get the drift.
This sumptuous chemise has an ultra-flattering A-line silhouette, is made of flowing silk, with adjustable straps. We just got this little dog tag for a mom friend, and just, wow. It showcases a letter that's meaningful to her, next to a perfect little diamond. The dog tag itself is 14 karats, and is dainty yet dramatic. As she eases her way back out into the world, she needs the tools to make it as simple as possible. And this brand doesn't giver her a makeover. Not at all. It just amps up what's already there. This perfect kit includes a glowy face gel, a great mascara, and a lash curler. All of it designed so she gets ready in five minutes or less. Best of all, this brand uses minimal (if any) plastic in its packaging; we certainly didn't have any in our box. And it lists the ingredients in every product, which is a nice change from other beauty brands; the term clean beauty isn't regulated and doesn't mean anything, so reading ingredients is pretty much a must.
