I bought a Kindle copy of Steven Baxter's novel Ring. One day, I decided to re-read it and downloaded it to a new device.

It had changed from the English edition to the German translation!

Amazon eventually admitted that this was some kind of glitch, but they were uninterested in fixing it. I got a refund, but there was no way for me to read the book.

Arr, aye there be!
No need for piracy. Since they gave him a refund, he could just buy a copy.

If they refused to refund his money, then... yeah, it does make you want to hoist the black flag, doesn't it?

Since he already owns a copy, I don't think he can buy another, unless it's a physical book.
