These ebooks are available elsewhere, right? And if not, why is only Amazon being called out for it?

I personally do believe that there IS such thing as a little censorship. There is a clear cut line that can, and should, be drawn. Anything that endorses the abusing of children is wrong. Anything that involves consenting adults is acceptable. Easy peasy.

For you, it's easy peasy. That's why I think the decision belongs to me and you and anyone else who chooses to read and decides what they want to read. I believe a seller has a right to sell, or not sell, whatever he wants, too.

I do not think the government or a group of fanatics can tell me what I can read or someone else what they can sell.

I might have read the pedophile book because I spent thirty years arresting people and never did come close to figuring out the pedophiles. I'm still curious.
