I hear what you're saying, but I honestly don't think I've ever had "a moral problem with a book."

Authors; yes.

I may even choose to not spend my money on books by those authors any more. But if I had books of theirs that I decided to be rid of, I'd have no problem passing them along for others to read and make their own decisions about.
