However I maintain that Amazon is clearly being unfair to Ms. Kitt in not providing her with an answer and clarification of what is and is not acceptable to them beyond the "Our standards are about what you'd think they should be" wishy-washy language that is in their TOS. Please, I'm sure they have a lawyer or two around the Amazon building who could churn out something better than that -- don't you think?

The authors may well have a legitimate issue with Amazon, but that depends on exactly what their contractual agreement is.
Did Amazon ever make a public statement about pulling that pedophile guide that caused such a furor?
