Amazon has just removed thousands of self-published e-books from the Kindle Store for violating the companies terms of service. Any book that had the three keywords; Kindle, Free and Bestseller were subject to removal.

If an author did not make any changes in their Kindle Direct Publishing dashboard, there is a strong likelihood that the offending book was delisted.
