Microsoft is going to remove all eBooks purchased through their store by the end of July 2019. If you have purchased any you will be refunded the money you paid for the item, and if you made any notes in the book you will be paid a further US$25 in compensation. If your payment details are out of date eg no longer using the CC you have listed you will instead of a refund receive a credit for the Microsoft Store.
