I can't help thinking that part of the story is missing here. Does anyone here think that Amazon would pull a 90,000 word book because of 100 properly hyphenated words? I suspect the actual notice from Amazon addressed a list of concerns and the author singled out the hyphen issue for his counter complaint.
There's a lot more to the story, yes. It turns out he was hard coding a minus sign in place of a hyphen.
