I agree with you this book is atrocious. It really doesn't upset me to see Amazon halt its sale. Just from the description alone, it was quite obvious the thing wasn't even a real book. It's a bunch of scattered and nearly incoherent rambling from an obviously mentally ill mind. It is kind of pathetic that Twitter marketing gave it so much attention because now ... an infinite number of people who would have never before been exposed to it have seen it.

BUT - when you teeter into the point where you think Amazon should be pulling it from the Kindles of people who legally bought the book while it was available we are going to part ways. Nobody has the right to dictate that a legally owned book that I purchased should be erased from my library because they morally object to the material on it.

In other words, hands off my erotica dude.
I feel sorry for you if you honestly think that book is erotica.

I do see your point when you say for Amazon not to remove it from those who bought it. But if one child is harmed because of someone buying that book, would you say it was good for Amazon to allow to to be out there?
