Many people think my religion's texts are prurient material. And as a teen, I read parts of the OT with prurient intent.

Boundaries like these are always going to look arbitrary and/or unfair to whoever winds up in the cold.

Not if they actually define what material is not welcome in their bookstore, and apply that across all content. As a point of comparison, VC Andrews' Flowers in the Attic series is still available for the Kindle.

Ultimately it's Amazon's servers, their services, and if they don't want to sell a specific book, that's their business. Let someone else offer it for sale if they so choose.

They have the right not to sell things, and the right not to tell their business partners what they won't sell. They may not have the legal right to remove them from their servers, as the Kindle sales pitch claims that you can re-download your purchases at any time. Short of a court order requiring the removal of the books, removing access may be breach of contract.
