They don't have to. They have no obligation to carry any books in the first place. (Funny how I'm defending Amazon here for once.)

I'm sure they'll get a refund. These are trivial details to sort out.

I'm usually libertarian in these cases: people should read what they want, nobody is forced to. It's still distasteful and offensive to many, though, and if Amazon decides not to carry these books (I don't know their stance on, say, bestiality and other such "taboo" subjects, and I couldn't care less) they have every right not to.

But they don't. Basically they're telling you "get it from some place else".
