Because of their recent censorship, I won't be buying anything from them again (unless they have a 80% off ebook sale, lol). If I were a Amazon stock holder, I would not be happy about that. Also, in 3 years will Google be Amazons biggest ebook competitor?
So....you will stop buying your ebooks from Amazon because they are removing ebooks for censorship reasons of which you do not purchase nor intend to???

Great, lets all stop buying from companies who are no longer stocking products/items which we have absolutely no interest in.

If on the other hand you were interested in the titles that Amazon are pulling from sale I can completely understand, but if you have no interest in rape/incest/what-ever-other-phrase-Amazon-are-banning then......I think you're mad.

I do feel on this topic of Amazon that they should actually inform people why their ebooks are being removed, and not just a generic violation of terms.
