The seller/distributor violated copyright, not the buyer. The buyer legally bought and owned the eBook.

The buyer did absolutely nothing wrong, nobody says the buyer should be punished. But since Amazon had no legal right to sell the books, the buyer could not legally take ownership and must return (in this case, delete) his copy. The buyer retains the right to sue the person who uploaded the illegal books to Amazon for damages.
