It's got to be suicidal to take away books that are favorites. It makes no sense. (Some of the most popular indie titles were ones taken down apparently. And of course the most popular titles tend to cost the most). But a place like that has to have titles people want!

There's also concern that popular titles in other genres might get hit.

Well, it's interesting, if nothing else. Thanks for the info.
The timing is particularly interesting in light of the reports coming in re: KU. They are pushing romance novels out at a time KU is looking a lot more novel-friendly.
