Any author has any right to write, publish and sell their book. But that is as far as their rights extend.
They as authors, publishers as well as us as users cannot force Amazon or any other vendor to carry it. The businesses that sell books/ebooks has every right to carry or not carry whatever they want as a private business, and nothing you or I would say changes that.
There is no moral, ethical or legal right to force or even expect any business to sell or do something they choose not to. It doesn't matter if they carried it for a few days or a few years, they have every right to add, change, remove or refuse to sell anything in their business, regardless of the content involved.
Amazon is not a monopoly. How many people here has readers other than the Kindle? Quite a few. If Amazon had a monopoly, we would all be using some variation of Kindle/Amazon products.
As for Westboro, well of course they are the severity of extremism and in no way are associated with the beliefs or religion of Christians in any way except their perverted use of the Chrsitian naming. Just as most of the Middle Eastern terrorist extremists pervert the word of their religion to carry out their attacks.
