Re-read the TOS. The author can suspend the account at any time for any reason, Amazon just puts in a 5-day cushion to pull the title(s).
Asymmetry also is insufficient to invalidate a contract. Many artists (notably musicians) sign contracts which allow the publisher/company to drop the artist at will and/or refuse to release material, but do not provide the artist any way to exit the contract. Drastic (and expensive) legal actions are often required to revise or break the contract.
I doubt you're going to get anywhere on the basis that the contract is "asymmetrical" or "unfair." All that matters, afaik, is that the contract does not stipulate illegal behavior.
