You know, at the end of the day, Amazon can't really censor anything at all. That's the beauty of our little hobby (ebooks): try to burn an ebook...

What I mean is, if you really, REALLY want to read incest porn, Mein Kampf, Catcher in the Rye or Uncle Tom's Cabin and your ebook retailer won't provide it, there's always a copy out there - legal or not. The beauty of the digital age is, once something is published on the net, there is no putting the cat back in the bag.

So the free speech side of things is taken care of. No need to resort to religious or Godwin arguments. What remains is:

- A commercial dispute between an author of incest porn and an ebook retailer,
- A commercial dispute between customers and the same ebook retailer.

In the end then, it's just a commercial dispute.
