However, Amazon.com seems to have no knowledge of the word. I mean this almost amazes me.
Owners of Amazon's Kindle electronic book reader have received a nasty surprise, after discovering that copies of books by George Orwell had been deleted from their gadgets without their knowledge...
In an ironic twist, one of the titles in question was Orwell's classic dystopian novel 1984 - the book that introduced the concept of Big Brother.

Bwahahahahahaha! That is fantastic!
I love the picture of Orwell in the article. It's a great example of "the look". I just know he's a bright cookie from the look in his eyes - silly as it sounds, I really do sense intellect from the look in someone's eyes.
