Do we really know this for sure about Amazon? After all, most of the ebooks pulled from the other retailers were pulled because they were being sold exclusively by Amazon. Now that Amazon and IDP (or whatever that indie press distributer is) failed to renew the contract, are those books still available for download even though they are no longer available for purchase?
