The Gates to Witch World by Andre Norton

Was the ebook by Tor or Orb and when was it withdrawn ?
No idea when it was withdrawn. I wasn't even aware that it had been withdrawn. According to Amazon, I purchased it in 2008 and I can still download it, but I don't see it available for purchase.

As ebooks have become more popular, I thought that once a book became available, it would stay available, I mean what's the point of removing it? There is no storage cost and much of the point of ebooks from an author's point of view is that you get a steady monthly stream of sales rather than having a couple of months blip every 5 to 7 years when it's reprinted. Obviously, some copyright holders feel differently. I assume it has something to do with whomever has the copyrights to her books and contracts.
