It's the same end result (the books you purchased are gone), but not as big-brotherish as people are making it out to be. Amazon is not scanning your Kindle's contents.

So what you are saying is if I invite you to my house you then have the option to take something of value from the house. You were invited and didn't break-in. Amazon removed an item from the Kindle that was purchased from them, a legitimate seller.
Now I do want to add a strange twist to this and it doesn't necessarily support my belief that what Amazon did was wrong. The first person allegedly charged with stealing music if you remember a number of years ago, thought she was making a legal purchase. I believe she even paid for the downloads. However the site owner did not have the rights to sell the music. The seller might have been charged with a crime but I am not sure. She was charged with the alleged crime. Just being cautious how I state the outcome of which I am not sure of the final results. She made a commercial about not downloading copyrighted songs. I think the commercial she made had something to do with "making it right" Sounds similar.
