No. If it's illegal when a person does it, it's illegal when a corporation does it.
Amazon
illegally sold a book, thereby
committing copyright infringement, and to remedy their actions they
stole the eBooks back from their customers (in a far more real way than in which piracy can be seen as stealing).
Their providing an unrequested refund really does nothing to mitigate any of those things, regardless of whether or not it makes anybody feel better.
