"Amazon appears to have deleted other purchased e-books from Kindles recently. Customers commenting on Web forums reported the disappearance of digital editions of the Harry Potter books and the novels of Ayn Rand over similar issues."

I can only assume that it was one of these versions that I have gotten hold of that contains the original metadata which reconverting removes...
If those reports are true, it's interesting to wonder how Amazon would know it wasn't a copy someone personally and legally scanned and OCR'd..?
