Amazon already has technology to remotely delete books from Kindle. In fact, it has already been used:Quote from LEAPup:
The main reason I like books is the fact that in the digital age, if someone (or a government) doesn't like what was typed out, I feel that it would be easier for them to make it "disappear" vs. books.
In a move that angered customers and generated waves of online pique, Amazon remotely deleted some digital editions of the books from the Kindle devices of readers who had bought them.

Justin Gawronski, a 17-year-old from the Detroit area, was reading â1984â on his Kindle for a summer assignment and lost all his notes and annotations when the file vanished. âThey didnât just take a book back, they stole my work,â he said.
Quote from KDASFTG:
Greetings,
Every time I look at a book on my shelf, I'm always reminded of the story that the book told, and the lessons I learned therein. Some lessons were memorable, some highly forgettable, but all added to the richness of my trading experience. However, over the years I have also noticed a strange and wonderful phenomenon now also takes place when ever I luxuriate over my bookcases and shelves.
Its as if each book, once it comes into view, speaks its story in a flash within my mind. What is remarkable is that, I have noticed that if I look at different books in a random order, the stories each has to tell spark a synergy of sorts within my mind.
For example, the book on Price Action flashes its story. Then the book on The Taylor Trading Technique flashes its story. Then the mental fireworks begin, and the amazing symbiosis between the two methods begins to fire synaptic connections in my mind. The end result is that I'm now thinking about something new in the market that hasn't been readily apparent to me until now. And, with the hundreds of books that I have, the combinations and permutations of book stories is virtually endless.
For me, it's the effect that a book has on my tactile senses while reading, along with its ever-present visual cue on the shelf that has enriched my trading experience. I have had some very valuable and profitable experiences from, and with my books. Even though moving, care, and upkeep is a pain, the ideas I've generated have more than paid the price, at the very least one hundred fold.
I also keep a storehouse of ebooks in a special folder as well. But somehow the effect isn't the same when they appear on my screen. Power requirements tend to limit the experience.
Just my opinion
