I think that Amazon deserves the criticism especially since they've designed their business model to only allow you to get Kindle content from Amazon. Yes they're a business and can do whatever they want but that doesn't put them beyond criticism. Their customers should hold them to some standards beyond deciding on a whim if they potential sales are worth more then the negative publicity. I don't want special interest groups deciding what I'm able to purchase and read.
What will they decide when the next Satanic Verses scenario comes up?
