The fact is, Amazon is a pioneer, it stumbled on a problem, then righted itself. Case closed. Only due to its advanced technology and market share it could have been the first to encounter that problem. What, your reader doesn't have an always on connectivity? So nobody can revoke books from it? Wow!
Huffing and puffing over the revokation of ebook is old. Problem solved, next.

Amazon is a pioneer? Hahahahahahaha
There have been ebook sellers around for at least a decade. They have their competitors beat on marketing, that's all.
They didn't 'stumble' on a problem. Anyone who allows
anyone to upload
anything needs to be prepared for attemped piracy. Not to do so is just plain stupid.
Since Amazon apparently
doesn't want to become the Pirate Bay of ebooks, they should have been better prepared for what was an
obvious hazard of their system. They weren't, so they're now paying for that.
And well they should.
Not paying enough, IMHO, but I'm willing to let you disagree on that point.
Just don't call me stupid. Or silly.
