We're not talking about Publishers making mistakes. This thread is about a random user on the internet who uploaded unauthorized content to Amazon, which Amazon then re-distributed without verification of the content.
If you think what Amazon did is perfectly OK, then you're also saying that all P2P sharing should be OK as long as people just take a file down when the copyright owner asks them to. No harm, no foul.
