If it is true, then I'd cancel all business with them just based on the criminally bad customer service that was displayed. Avoiding them is the only way to make sure it never happens to me...if it's true. I did write them off as far as e-books go based on the 1984 "in the dark of night recall" incident a couple of years ago. (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111487759) That was just wrong, and there's nothing stopping them from doing it again. With a real book, they'd have to break into my house...and that would be very dangerous for them to do. -- Mike B.
