It's happened more than that, because an Orwell title was mentioned here and it happened to me years ago with a title from another author. (This was before Unlimited existed and I've never used Unlimited.) Amazon also removed an anime I purchased in 2019. For a while it said it wasn't available to watch in my location. As of today it's trying to sell it to me again!

It's never happened since - you are almost certainly mistaken. This is a common problem with digital storefronts - people think they bought something from store X, but they actually got it from store Y or on a different account. Amazon remembers every order you've ever placed - including digital ones. Check whether you can find the order in your order history - if you can see the order, but not the item, Amazon customer support will add it to your account again.

  Since what? The Orwell incident? I wasn't aware of it. I discovered the book I'm talking about missing on July 16, 2013. It reappeared in my Kindle library a few years ago but was gone for most of the intervening period. In the case of the anime, I have the order on Amazon and can follow the link to the item. I also know a bit about the production and release of this anime in different markets and can assure you I'm not mistaken.

    Well if you have the order reference in your amazon purchase history, but the book isn't physically visible in your kindle library, then contact Amazon support and ask them to sort it out - that sounds like a bug not a deliberate action.

      It may have been a bug but it coincided with the physical book going out of print, and reappeared in my Kindle library when the physical book was reprinted.

An amateur voice actor began doing a podcast how himself reciting a very large work in public domain. It was amazing! He tried to monitize by selling it digitally on Amazon music. Amazon figured out he was sneaking around Audible, and stopped it. Now I can’t download those “songs” - in fact they don’t exist anywhere in Amazon’s system.
