MODERATORS
The optimist in me says they're doing this to avoid piracy.
The pessimist in me says they're doing this so they can purge books because of the Trump administration.
Either way, I can't say I'm a fan.

Won’t pirates just buy their source copies on a different platform, so now Amazon loses the original sale as well?
