what wallcraft said, but to add: ebooks are becoming significant in sales, so now you get everyone looking over their properties and rights. Amazon now has international territories in the store and a few other changes in the last few months to iron this stuff out.
One of the funniest cases I've come across is a book I bought: A Canticle for Leibowitz ... the kindle version is only the large print edition. Think about that, lol. On a device that you can pick your own font size, how does someone with the rights to the large print version publish it? The answer is to only let you pick from three font sizes (ridiculously big down to too big). I read the whole book that way.
But again, everyone is trying to figure this new market out.
btw, Canticle was pulled from the store again, just FYI.
