Paperwhite: Book keeps auto-downloading

Anyone else experienced this?
I bought a book from Amazon today and later went to delete it from the PW. Within 5 minutes it had re-downloaded to my PW. I've removed and had it come back 6 times in the last hour.
Spoke with CS who said only way to ever prevent a book from auto-downloading was to go into manage my kindle on their site and permanently delete it (as in you will have to pay for it again to get it back). I said that couldn't be right and was transferred to a Kindle specialist who said others are having this problem and an update will be out in the future to correct this behavior.

Anyone else?

The reason I want to delete it is that the book I purchased shows up as an odd font. The PW will allow me to change the font size, but selecting any other font style results in no change at all. So I ran it through calibre and now it acts like any other book and will let me change font styles and I don't need two copies of the book on my PW. Does this happen alot with purchased kindle books? Am more used to epub myself.

Thanks again-
