As you should know by now, the initial statement is inaccurate and/or incomplete. The books in question were pulled because they were not in the public domain in the US, not because of a "publisher's whim."

Feel free to object to Amazon's behavior, but spare us the inaccurate FUD.
Yes, the quote was inaccurate. But here is the point I was making. Regardless of the real reason (the P issue), Amazon stated they removed the books due to a publisher's whim.

This cements the fact that should a publisher actually change their mind on a book, regardless of reason, Amazon WILL pull the book from their library AND from all the Kindle books sold.

THIS is theft. THIS is breaking and entering, and reneging on a valid purchase. It matters not that in this case, the real reason was PD. By Amazon's own word, should a publisher change their mind, you WILL lose your purchase.
