Or maybe he just figured that vaguely worded guidelines giving Amazon sole rights to determine what they sell would never result in content being removed without explanation.
I'm certain the author signed something giving Amazon the right to decide to pull his content. I'm sure he didn't even read it - do you read agreements that you cannot change? I am a lawyer, and I don't -I make sure the mortgage has the right amount and terms, but the rest is nonnegotiable. If I want the $$, I have to sign as is.

I'm sure he did figure his content would not be removed without explanation. Welcome to the real world. If he doesn't like it, he can try Random House.
