If you read the link Yolina posted to the first article on the BBC news page (Amazon removes abuse-themed e-books from store), in the first couple of sentences it states:

"Amazon and Barnes & Noble both say they are removing books found by technology news site The Kernel, but many others still remain, the BBC has found. WHSmith and Kobo, which feature titles with similar themes, are yet to respond to requests for comment."
