The British Board of Film Censors have a list of things that film makers are not allowed to put in their films. I don't see how it would be impossible to have a similar list for books sold on Amazon.
What is probably the most worrying about this is it is very unlikely that anyone at Amazon is actually reading any of these books before deciding whether people should be allowed to read them or not. In the UK we still have fairly draconian laws over "obscene publications", but even here they can be allowed if they can be shown to have artistic merit.
