I can see that happening, and would give BN the benefit of the doubt in such a situation. However, upon receiving reports of this from customers, I think the fair thing would be for BN to go back to the author and insist they restore the full version for customers who already purchased it (even if the purchase price was "free").
Imagine an author writes a long novel, then later decides to split it into a novel and a sequel. He then "updates" the original book with a revised version that contains only "Part I" and offers Part II as a sequel. Isn't this kinda, sorta what happened here?
