From the author of the banned books:

You [Amazon] pulled my titles because that reporter at the Fox affiliate labeled my book pornography. If you actually HAD done your research, you'd see that they do not fall under that category. I can see them being viewed as erotica because the sex is very intense...and not at all sugar-coated...but that's it. And they were on Amazon's website being offered for sale for years without a problem. So will you also be removing other books once viewed as porn, like "Ulysses" and "Henry and June" and "Lolita"? Will you continue to offer DVDs of movies that depict the torture and rape of women, like "Straw Dogs" and "A Clockwork Orange"?

...But I'm making an exception on this thread simply because censorship infuriates me and also to show how inane and uninvolved so many Americans are when it comes to their freedom -- re: the "meh" comment. "If it don't affect me, then *shrug*." But they'll be the loudest to howl when something they want is taken away from them.
I greatly appreciate all the comments and leads to others going through the same thing as me. I've also been informed since the Fox reporter labeled my book as porn, I may have a slander suit against her. It's harmed my books sales and reputation. Hmmm...something to look into after I get home.
In the meantime, the hell with Amazon!!!
