That's just so not true... people and businesses are responsible for what they sell whether it's a bookstore or a junk shop... by your argument I should be able to walk into a store and buy anything regardless of what it is... Retailers are responsible in law for what they sell... now Amazon may be erratic in its choices, stupid in the way they proceed to implement them but if they have reason to suspect an item may be illegal, generally offensive or whatever (including a personal dislike of something) then they are fully entitled to remove it. It states this in their Terms & Conditions of business... if you don't like their terms then don't deal with them (your right) and if you don't read the T&C then you can't complain after the fact...
Equally the provider of this content (as I said earlier) has the opportunity to use other outlets including their own website... it isn't exactly difficult...
PS as for your other comment re Stephen King and the Bible... same applies, if Amazon wish to discontinue such books then they can... and equally you can choose to get them elsewhere.
