Ah, you caught me tempering down my initial reaction!
I believe that everything is easy in hindsight. Knowing how Amazon operates from the inside, my hunch is that a midlevel manager saw the ebook with the wrong rights got into Kindle and panicked.
What matters for the company's reputation is how they handle mistakes. Bezos handled it admirably.
If you think someone shouldn't do things before they know all the consequences far into the future, I say, go start an ebook/ereader business competing with Amazon and the rest, and do it better. Still better, go back in time and beat Amazon at it.
