Disappearing ebook editions?
Tonight I logged into Kobo AU and almost 20% of the books on my Wishlist were marked "Item has Changed", and when I looked it seems the books are no longer available. Some examples:
Robert Goddard's "Borrowed Time", but most of the rest of his books are still there.
Robin McKinley's "Spindle's End", but at least some of her other books are still there.
Eoin Colfer's "Artemis Fowl" series seems almost completely gone, omnibuses and individuals both missing, but some of his other books are still there (including the newer Fowl Twins books).
Anne McCaffery's "Talent" series disappeared.
"The Anthropocene Reviewed" by John Green disappeared ... in fact it looks like most of his books are gone, while his brother Hank's books are still there.
And so on.
A lot of the older stuff I own in paper and only had on the wish-list just in case they ever came up on special, so no big loss. In the past I've had a book here and there disappear, but I thought this mass extinction was bit strange.
Is anyone seeing it anywhere else?
