I believe I read somewhere that the only reason this edition of 1984 was available on the Kindle in the first place was that Amazon was given permission to by a company that did not own the rights to the book. iirc Amazon pulled this particular version of 1984 after discovering this, so technically Amazon didn't revoke purchased material, since they had no real right to sell it in the first place.
