Exactly! I don't see why people still keep trotting out that argument, as if porny books are just inherently improper or unclean or something.
No one wants to have content they support filtered out of an influential site like Amazon.com; I don't understand why it is so difficult to see that blocking out books by keyword without consulting customers or requesting their input is bad for everybody.
