This has already happened and if a book is pulled, the people who bought it still have access to it.
The Stand by Stephen King was pulled for months and still I was able to redownload it during the time it was unavailable.
Boyd Morrison's books were pulled from the Amazon store and others still have access to them.
(A few) people are blowing this way out of proportion.
A
pirated book was uploaded by some guy and when Amazon found out (keep in mind that 3000+ books are uploaded a day to the Kindle store and that anybody can upload to the store), they pulled it along with refunding everybody.
Trying to what if... this or spin Amazon into some crazy Big Brother conspiracy is crazy since there has only been two instances of Amazon actually removing files from a Kindle.
1) Pirated book is uploaded by somebody.
2) Non-payment for Whispernet delivery/conversion.
That's it

Because they seem to mostly be nothing more than thinly-veiled attacks against Amazon or Kindle instead of actually discussing the topic at hand?
