Gosh, I think the vast majority of self-published books just disappear into the void. They don't get any publicity by virtue of being sold on Amazon.
Amazon's policies are fairly easy to suss out, and I don't see why withdrawing a book after a month would protect the publisher. Surely all sussing is done by bots, and uncovering violations (mostly have to do with underage individuals) is a matter of hours or days, not months?
Most e-books don't sell very well (though they used to, and at higher prices), but Apple sells only a fraction of what Amazon does, and sales off an author's website (well, apart from Mr King and Ms Rowling) tend to be a fraction of what Apple sells. Personally, I no longer try to sell direct, except for signed copies of print editions.
