One person taken to hospital in four ambulances?
Sounds nasty.

Neither.
Give the pilots the AoA disagree warning and let them do their job.
Assuming of course that the system actually looks at both AoA sensors (it doesn't as designed) and that the airline has added in the optional AoA disagree warning (it would seem that most haven't).
What the system should do -->
Since when do Amazon pay authors?
If an author self-publishes on Amazon they keep 70% of the price they set, which is more per copy than they'd get from a publisher.
If an author is published in the traditional fashion, they get the percentage of whatever the publisher sells the book to Amazon for, and what Amazon retails the book for makes no difference to what they get paid.
Annoying as it is you can't blame Amazon for region locks, it's the dead tree publishers who haven't woken up to the fact that parcelling ebook rights out on geographical lines makes no sense whatsoever, and just pushes people towards cracked downloads.
It would be nice if these idiots actually looked outside their little cartels and noticed that this hasn't worked for the music and film industries, but that's probably too much to ask.
Well 1984 and Animal Farm are only still in copyright in the United States of Disney, anywhere with a sensible length of copyright Orwell's work has been in the public domain for some time.
And yes, reform of copyright is badly needed, to stop US corporations locking up all of the world's content until the heat-death of the universe.
"Furthermore, most readers, even the Sony is tied to an online store"
What gives you that impression? I can get .lrf ebooks from just about any online book store for my PRS-505, and if I can't find a book in the format I want it's easy enough to get another format (except maybe .mobi) strip any drm and convert it to .lrf or BBeB to load onto my reader.
