There's some well reasoned argument here and I'm late jumping in. First, I'm very happy the page has gone away. Either Amazon did something or a Higher Power stepped in. I'm relaxed either way on that.
It may not be that the fear is the next thing is Mein Kampf. The fear is probably that the next thing is something like anti gay literature (or the banning of pro gay literature). Probably all of the expressions of repugnance people make about gays translate easily into what we all (I hope) say about pedophiles. Oh, just for the record, I'm straight so this isn't a personal thing.
Now, if you have a law banning pedophilia should you allow books about it? Well, you have a law banning the robbing of banks but there are books about that. Possibly there shouldn't be but there are. I'm pretty sure none of us want the government to say there should be no books about robbing banks.
But if Amazon decides that they dislike bank robbing books and refuse to stock them they are within their rights. And we are within our rights to take our own position on that, ie we might boycott them because we dislike the kinds of books they stock (even if we would like to buy their other books).
This seems like the best solution to me, and it looks like the one we've actually got. Amazon (or maybe that Higher Power) have taken the page down because people are offended. They are allowed to do that (or to choose not to) and we are allowed to take our business elsewhere if they don't. This is very, very different from the government saying they have to, and bringing along people with guns to ensure they comply.
