From the publisher's perspective, how would they be able verify whether Amazon has replaced legitimate versions of their books? All the publishers would see is that Amazon gave N copies of their books to customers without paying the publisher for it. At least when B&N shut down Fictionwise & EReader, they could prove exactly what the customer had already bought.
I'll personally never buy a Kindle because I already have more books than can fit on a Kindle. The Nook (and I believe the Kobo also) has an external memory slot so I can have all of my books on my reader without having to rely on having a wireless or wifi connection.
