I would not like it either, if someone told me what I should, or should not, read. However, if I wanted to read the author's books, which I do not, then I could go elsewhere to get them. So, Amazon is unable to control what I do, or do not, read. Unless you believe that Amazon has been coerced into make this decision for political reasons "... based on threatening governmental pressure ..." then surely this was a commercial decision - albeit one that was made clumsily - which presumably they are at liberty to make. Perhaps if enough of their customers don't like their decisions, and vote with their feet to buy books elsewhere, then Amazon might change their policies regarding the withdrawal of books, but I'm not going to hold my breath while waiting for a result.
