1. An author changed his mind about the ebook format so Amazon removes the books from your possession without your consent while you were reading it. You don't see a problem?
2. Furthermore, Amazon can close accounts, delete your content and prevent further downloads making the Kindle useless. Will they refund your Kindle purchase too?

For all practical purposes, the books on Amazon were stolen property and purchasers from Amazon under the law received no valid title to them. It would be no different if they were pbooks except that the cost of retrieval would have prevented the effort. No harm, no foul.
