This is pathetic. They can change your licensing even after taking your money.,

This review is from: Report It in Writing (5th Edition) (Kindle Edition)
When I purchased this item in August, it was allowed to be put on up to 5 devices. When I attempted to put it on my 4th device, an actual kindle, I was told that now it's only active on three devices. Fine, I deauthorized my laptop and put it on the actual kindle. I'm now trying to take it off my iPod touch, device three, to put it on my phone and guess what, now they are telling me that the license changed again to two devices. Because this doesn't work for me, I can buy it elsewhere. What's worse is I paid $36 for the book that has gone to $23. Now I'm given the access as if I paid $23 for a book that I actually paid $36 for the access. I spend over a thousand dollars annually for my college books from this company. I have learned to never do that again. What a waste. More their loss than mine. I lost $36, They lost several hundred (Spring semester 2012).
