Yes, and they should be, they violated copyrights and should be held accountable. Their customers didn't do it! They purchased the ebooks in good faith, and should not be disadvantaged in any way by Amazon's negligence. What if you had bought a page turner and was three quarters of the way through it and someone stole it. Would you be upset? Especially if you couldn't replace it?
Amazon should be found guilty of criminal action for logging on to their customers' devices and stealing their duly purchased property in order to attempt to mitigate their responsibility in civil court.
