I'm making a judgement on their conduct, the very fact that they are apparently deigning not to sell books merely based on content.

Me too. And frankly there "judgement" at this point is so erratic that it is hard to even begin to understand what sort of value system they are trying to apply.
At first they seemed to be targeting erotica that touched upon incest fantasies.
Okay, except for the fact that plenty of these types of books remain with no explanation of why one book is pulled and others remain.
Then books that do not contain incest started disappearing. For instance Babysitting the Bumgaurtners by Selena Kitt has been pulled. It involves a situation where a 19 year old woman visits the couple she babysat for as a younger teen and let's just say "happiness ensues."
So .. no incest. no under aged sex. no explanation and unless the customers call Amazon and risk the lecture on their reading habits .. no refund.
I am a long-time customer of Amazon and I have on many occasions defended their actions and their rights to do things that have upset others. Even now, if they would simply get whatever it is they are trying to do organized and act themselves in a moral and customer friendly manner, I'd support them. But as it stand - no. I am not happy to see them taking this course of action.
