What just bugs me the absolute most about this whole thing . . .
Why couldn't Amazon have stopped selling the book, then turned the money received for it over to the publisher. This would have adequately covered the publisher's profits off of the sales. Publishers don't make more than a buck for a paperback of a non upgrade type paperback.
Sure, Amazon wouldn't have made money off of them. But the books were bought in good faith. Why tick off thousands of users?
Is it just flexing the old Amazon muscles?
