I find it amazing that some would defend Amazon's decision based on the fact the books were illegal copies. IT DOES NOT MATTER! Amazon would have been 100% right to contact the customers and tell them the book has to be "returned" (how that would have panned out practically, I have no idea!). It certainly had no right whatsoever to delete the books without ensuring the customers had agreed to it. And you'd have to be pretty naive if you think any of the purchasers could have been taken to a court of law for having an illegal copy on their Kindles...
