I don't see it happening though they have to remove 50 Shades of Grey and we all know that is going to happen! Erotica is here to stay but I wouldn't mind getting rid of the smut books or put them in the back of the store where they belong!

For those who don't know what smut is just go look at the slush pile on Amazon. I've come across so many barely 18 or I did my stepdaughter titles. Yuk!
1st, libraryaddict, I totally agree, and Blossom, with you as well. If Kobo would filter their site properly instead if just deleting authors by the hundreds, this wouldn't happen. They're having a knee-jerk reaction and doing a quick bandaid solution instead of a long term, well thought out plan. Horrible business for a company of that size IMO.
