Who said this was illegal content? Random weblogs? Partial quotes from Amazon reps on news blogs?
They certainly didn't inform individual purchasers, "[Book X] has been removed from your Kindle because Amazon discovered it didn't have the right to sell it to you in the first place."
If the books were removed for copyright law violations, the customers who were inconvenienced by that removal should've been informed that this was a legal decision, not a business one (related to, for example, contract re-negotiations where an old version is pulled to make a new one available).
Of course, to do that, they'd have to tell customers "we don't actually check the legality of the sales conducted at our website--and when someone decides to cheat us, we pass that along & you get to deal with the fallout."
