Well, the thing is, she has a deal with Hachette, not Amazon. If she had self-published and Amazon took away a pre-order button after an agreement, well then, Amazon would have changed something after an agreement. But like it or not, her agreement is with Hachette. Hachette promised to distribute it. I doubt it promised her distribution at Amazon.
I'd love it if Amazon "owed" me exposure or pre-order buttons or opportunity. But I don't see any of that in the KDP contract...
And, for the record, Kobo allows me to set up my book info for pre-ordering! It's a great perk as far as I'm concerned. I take full advantage of the offering every chance I get.
