It's not only the US site. Amazon.de suffered from the same problem but is now, from what I can see, mostly back to normal.

So what?

It's more than that. De-ranking a book makes it effectively invisible unless you're specifically searching for it in the "Books" category. No main search, no "customers who looked at this also looked at..." or "customers who bought this also bought...". Nothing.

It's more like anyone who wants to buy these items won't find them on the shelves at all anymore, but now has to walk up to the desk and ask a clueless sales person for that specific item. Which, if it happened in a local bookstore with any material that isn't X-rated, would certainly cause me to question my continued patronage of said store.
