High school student Justin Gawronski is suing Amazon for deleting his  
Kindle copy of Nineteen Eighty-Four, because in so doing, they messed  
the annotations he'd created to the text for class (the annotations  
say things like "remember this paragraph for class" but the paragraph  
in question has been deleted). The case is intended to become a class- 
action on behalf of other Kindle owners whose annotations were deleted  
by Amazon when it improperly deleted an infringing copy of the Orwell  
book from Kindles. Nothing in Amazon's EULA or US copyright law gives  
them permission to delete books off your Kindle, so this sounds like a  
plausible suit to me.
