Let's say I have a public domain ePub which I loaded into calibre which I then converted to KF8 and side-loaded onto a Kindle. Amazon does not own this. I do. It's public domain with no copyright so it's mine. Now if Amazon removes it, Amazon is removing content that I own and that should be illegal.

Also, if I buy the eBook from Kobo, eBooks.com, Google Play Books, Smashwords, or direct from the author or publisher, there is no license with Amazon for that eBook. So Amazon has no legal control over it.
