What makes you believe that? HarperCollins certainly has the rights to sell the paper version of the books. They could simply be asserting that they also have the ebook rights as well. As far as not having standing, if someone else claiming to be EOS is doing so, then HarperCollins absolutely has legal standing to tell Amazon that it's not an EOS book. They still own the rights to that name.
