It's what led to the famous "take the ebook off of the Kindle" contraversy...)
Could you name an example?

I remember that controvercy. It spawned quite a long thread here at MR at the time if I recall correctly and gave Amazon quite a black eye with its customers to boot. Not only for the fact that they took down copies that had been bought in good faith but that the buyers weren't compensated at the time for the loss of said ebook either. I don't recall if they ever did do so later or not.
