Amazon's own terms of service allow them to practice censorship as they see fit, which is why I was rolling my eyes yesterday when they used their anti-censorship stance to defend not pulling the book.
Quote:
Pornography
Pornography and hard-core material that depicts graphic sexual acts.
Offensive Material
What we deem offensive is probably about what you would expect. Amazon Digital Services, Inc. reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of Titles sold on our site.
Illegal Items
Titles sold through the Digital Text Platform Program must adhere to all applicable laws. Some Titles that may not be sold include any Titles which may lead to the production of an illegal item or illegal activity.
