This is a long shot guess - If you remember Fictionwise has a situation where a set of books are not now available for download because access has been, in case I do not have it quire right, allegedly denied. They said they do not hold the digital inventory for all the books. The Fictionwise web site for some publishers sends the user in the background to the publisher site. Maybe the DRM books were held and maintained by Amazon but the DRM free books will now come directly from the publisher or visa versa. This disconnect may break the original version control of the inventory. Just a wild guess.
