If there is some merit in the argument that Amazon's decisions could cause the kind of censorship described above, should we as readers be concerned about the potential of this on our future reading material?
That is the real danger, especially if Amazon's ebook burning spreads to other genres. I know that when I write now I always have in the back of my mind what if this generates too many complaints. It must be a lot worse for people who depend on writing for their income.
