If you subscribe to a magazine electronically on Amazon, they will delete your back issues after six months "for your convenience".

I bet what they were thinking is that they'd accumulate in the Kindle's limited memory, so they're expiring them automatically as a help to people.
But older issues should still be available from the cloud. It's not as if storage there is a problem.

The back issues have been deleted from both the Kindle app and the cloud. One or the other might be understandable - either your device keeps six months worth, or it keeps everything but you have a six month window to download issues as they came out.
But no, it's both. And if you cancel your subscription, they delete all the back issues from your account anyway.

So, what's their angle? Do they sell "permanent" bundles of back-issues separately?
Not much sense in taking away your stuff if they aren't going to re-sell it back to you, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't do it anyway.
(i.e. are they maliciously evil, or just capriciously evil?)

Mikeski - right now, I don't know what they hell they think they're playing at.
