1984 really had nothing to do with the current issue. The version of 1984 in question was published on Amazon by a person who did not have the right to do so. Then Amazon compounded the issue by removing the book without notice or offering to replace it with a legal copy.
The current issue is that if you place an ebook on your Kindle and it is labelled as an EBOK rather that a PDOC and it has an ASIN, Amazon will remove it as a book that their system considers you have no right to when a Kindle connects after an extended offline period. I tend to suspect that this was done as an attempt to keep people from retaining acess to KU content after the loan is returned though I have never tested if a KU loan on a offlline Kindle remains accessible until the Kindle goes back online.
