I don't think it would have broke amazon to pony up the full 9.99, seeing as how it was their lack of foresight that caused it to begin with.

I also think that had Amazon pulled the book once they realized, then gone to the publishers and explained what had happened, they would have even settled for less than the full 9.99.

And there would have been no negative publicity.

However, hindsight is 20/20.
