Amazon have made an error or allowed one to happen without fixing it.
So whether I should feel entitled or not, is really a mote point. Errors need fixing.
I did not ideally want the refund, but they called my bluff, which wasn't a bluff.

The books in question are Kindle Worlds Books. Kindle Worlds Books are supposed to be restricted to the United States. Such restrictions are usually intended to operate on the basis of your physical location. You are not located in the United States. Therefore you should not have been able to purchase these books. I think Amazon did indeed make an error, and you are unable to purchase the 4th book because of the actions they are taking to fix it. That you still see a purchase button for other Kindle Worlds titles may well indicate simply that their fix is still in progress and not yet operating properly.
The other logical though I think less likely alternative seems to be that Amazon is taking a very lenient approach to limiting the KW "pilot" to the US and is simply letting anyone with a US account purchase these titles. In this case your situation may indeed be an error. Or perhaps a result of a change in such a policy.
