Actually, Amazon has done just that in the past. This was before the Kindle. Amazon sold eBooks in different formats such as PDF, MS Reader, Mobipocket and maybe eReader (not sure on that one). They just decided to stop selling them. When they did that, everyone lost access to being able to download them. So when the DRM was needed to be updated, it was too bad. Unable to redownload, unable to update the DRM.

And people keep going on an on about the 1984 debacle where unauthorized copies were removed.
