Yeah, I'm not touching that with a ten-foot pole, ya sick bastard.

There's no way that is going to work.
Any statement that is sufficiently flexible to cover the massive varieties of work, and the minor variations therein, is going to inherently have enough ambiguity to make the resulting applications seem vague and/or inconsistent.
For example, Dumas'
The Lover may be viewed as a work of aesthetic, cultural and social importance; others may say its ethical implications outweigh or destroy the alleged values. I cannot imagine any workable TOS that can sort out those kind of nuances. Nor, really, would Amazon telling the author "unsuitable erotic content" really change things.

Yeah, no. I'm not seeing anything in the TOS which says they will provide you with perpetual backup copies, from now until the end of time.
