So, the company selling the books decides they don't want to anymore, so Amazon is unselling them? And taking the books back remotely?

If you look off in the distance, there in that shimmer off the pavement, you can see Orwell pointing and laughing his dang head off.

No, mobi had no right to sell them since 1984 and Animal Farm are not public domain in America and they don't own the rights to it. Amazon found out and removed them/refunded everybody's money.

The legit versions can be found here:

Animal Farm = http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Farm/dp/B001O1O7QC
1984 = http://www.amazon.com/Nineteen-Eigh...r/dp/B002A9JO9W

Books pulled for other reasons then copyright infringement don't get refunded and should still be accessible through "Manage Your Kindle". This happened with Stephen King's The Stand for a few months and Boyd Morrison's books.
