Then a year later, they were selling ebooks again, but they weren't willing to put those old titles back in your bookshelf.

I never went back to buying ebooks from them, despite the fact they had very nice regular discounts. I was afraid it would be back to "oops, sorry, we're quitting again"
Both Amazon and B&N did the same thing as I recall, although I don't know if they warned folks with an email.
