What happened to not deleting books that had already been purchased?

> Amazon effectively acknowledged that the deletions were a bad idea. “We are changing our systems so that in the future we will not remove books from customers’ devices in these circumstances,” Mr. Herdener said.

Supposedly they're not deleting them from devices, just from the archives (thus preventing re-downloading the titles): http://www.teleread.com/ebooks/amazon-removes-incest-related...
