What is clear is that Direct 2 Digital uses no filters unlike Smashwords. None of the Smashwords titles were taken down but the ones from D2D were, likely because D2D had no way of filtering out the questionable content.

From what I'm told, all or most Smashwords titles are not available in the UK through the Kobo-branded store as well as through WH Smith. Most Smashwords titles continue to appear internationally through Kobo, but not all. I spoke with Kobo today and they're working to restore as many blocked titles as possible as soon as possible.

It seems like nobody (presumably with the exception of Kobo themselves) really knows exactly what happened, or which books were removed and which weren't.
