Their reasoning on this seems sloppy at best. Excluding LBG&T and erotica because of the sensitivities of some who might see the list is near-enough to censorship for my tastes. What next, age ratings on books? Those annoying 'explicit lyrics' stickers you find on music?
From the article, quoting Amazon:

In consideration of our entire customer base, we exclude “adult” material from appearing in some searches and best seller lists. Since these lists are generated using sales ranks, adult materials must also be excluded from that feature.
