They saw why--the "adult" tag--but that doesn't make it right that that was the cause of their problems.
I don't think it's wrong for Amazon to filter out "pornographic" "adult" titles from it's default lists. I do think it's wrong for Amazon to filter out other titles from it's default lists. Of course, distinguishing between one or the other is difficult, but since this was largely the choice of the publisher, they got what they asked for.
