Interesting fact when googling (forgive the fledgling librarian here  
if this is common knowledge) - there is a site www.george-orwell.org  
that has his works for free. Maybe this is one reason to pull the  
works. If the publisher or family has chosen to distribute for free  
then Amazon shouldn't be charging for the works.
