(ETA: I'm sorry you feel like I'm deliberately missing your point. I rather think I just have a very different point of view on this than you.)
Ana, I checked with Amazon, gave them the scenario, and asked specifically if the withdrawn book is still available to read and if it still syncs across multiple devices. Customer Service told me explicitly that the answer was "yes" on both counts.

They could be lying or mistaken, of course, but that's what I base my statement on.

Yes, Ana, we seem to have very different points of view! I hope I haven't offended you.

I think that if you told every indie publisher, "Promise me you'll never, ever, stop selling your book at B&N or I won't buy it!" you'd get one of three responses: Silence (usually the best course on any controversial topic!); an honest answer like mine; or, a lie. Nobody can guarantee what they will or won't do in the future. Circumstances change.
