There are only 4 things that Amazon keeps out and 2 ways to get your author account pulled.
The 4 things are daddy/child, rape, beastiality and necropolia as titillating.
The two things that will endanger your account are copyright violations and the faster way is trademark violations. Otherwise anything goes.


Hope this unconfuses you.
But have a look at how long it took Amazon to get off their collective asses and take down the bogus Mary Stewart eBooks. I reported them a few times and nothing. It may have taken getting the UK publisher involved to get them taken down. So from what I see is that it is very easy to put up something that's in violation of copyright and have it there for too long.
