It's a pain, but a threat...? If I can't get anyone to buy the damn thing, I don't see how they're going to.
How much were they selling it for? I had a look at yours on Amazon and was surprised at how high you pitched it. Your cover is good, I don't know about your blurb because I'm not in your target audience. But you will be up against more established writers selling at less than half the amount you are asking.
