hmm... The real reason seems to be what hides in one small paragraph: "Antoine Bruguier, an engineer in Silicon Valley, said he had noticed that his digital copy of “1984” appeared to be a scan of a paper edition of the book."
So this particular Amazon contributor had apparently scanned the book themselves. As such is an illegitimate digtialisation, and they are breaking copyright. No wonder Amazon would call the purchases back. I empathise with those who had their books deleted from their readers, though.
