I can understand that and if I were an author I wouldn't sign with Select. However I'm not convinced that an author can retroactively rescind my right to a copy I've legitimately acquired.

When you buy an e-book, unfortunately, you do not buy a copy. You buy a license to view the work. That license is rarely specified as eternal. I believe the boilerplate verbiage is that it can be legally revoked at any time. IANAL.
