Also, while I might complain to the bookseller, I doubt I'd contact the author. So you would likely have lost me as a reader without ever hearing about it.
That will not happen to you in this case--it is no longer available at all on Amazon (other than if you bought it, it should remain in the cloud, etc). Kobo does not do active updates so in that case, I made it available as the other story only and changed the description and made it free. You won't get some weird update with one story suddenly missing.

I also made it available for free on Smashwords and in that case it appears on B&N as a different title/book for free also. The original is indeed gone and if B&N doesn't make it available for those who purchased it, I cannot control that.

And yes, I'm sure not everyone would contact an author over something odd or that they didn't like. Understood.
