Both the Kindle and Sony eBook stores have serious deficiencies. The selection is just plain unsatisfactory if you're serious about books. But Sony seems to be completely missing the point.

As you can see, the accounts actually disagree, both about the status of the Paducah/West Frankfort series and about the reason for the cancellation. Looking at the game reports for those which were actually played, it looks like the weather was sufficient reason to shut things down; it was wet and cold, and few were in the stands.
