And as I said before --- there are books on Amazon (much better written books) that deal with the exact same subject matter. In fictionalized and non-fiction form. Are we going to start a witch hunt?

If Amazon pulls this book from their buyers Kindles because it contains morally objectionable material - where are you going to put that line? Are we going going to encourage certain factions in the United States (and we all know they exist) to start up campaigns encouraging Amazon to start deleting Kindle libraries of books they hate?
You did use the term erotica. Maybe that was just a poor choice of words.

I know it's getting even a slipperier slope to remove it from Kindles/accounts. But If it's no longer going to be sold because of the content, then it should be removed. If it's not to be sold for any other reason, then let it be.
