I can't see any point in this where Amazon didn't take the right steps. Your readers are not eagerly awaiting the advertisement for your new book that you want

  Disclaimer: This is all assuming the entry is factually correct. Considering the authors mindset I'm not too sure about that. a) When they told readers they are working with the publisher while they don't b) They are asking the author of a book if he has the copyright required for the updated version? What? c) They should at the very least tell reviewers that there is an update when the review is below 5 stars.

    I still think Amazon is doing the right thing. a) THey put out a note and then contacted the publisher eventually after a day. Given their scale, I would assume it would be necessary to validate the customer complaints before handing off to the publishers. b) Again, they are just being extra careful about copyrights to the book contents. c) Do it right and give the best reading experience the first time, otherwise customer are right to complain. I kind of don't like the publish quickly, update frequently model that the author is trying to do. It breaks the book reading experience.
