A class action lawsuit filed in California accuses Apple of breaching false advertising and consumer protection laws by misleading customers about eBook purchases.
Customers claim that Apple only provides revocable licenses to access eBooks, and has removed previously purchased books without warning or refunds.
The lawsuit alleges that some customers found digital books they bought were no longer available for re-download despite having paid for them.
Apple's software license agreements state that purchased content may be removed from the Services if Apple loses its right from the content provider.
