I would be much more comfortable with your characterization of Amazon's response if it was the first time they had done such a thing. It's not. There was the Hachette delisting in 2008, and the whole GLBT thing last year. Not to mention their lawsuit against the pre-existing "Amazon Bookstore," where a large part of their legal strategy seemed based on pointing out that the owners of a women's bookstore were lesbian.
My two cents for what it's worth.
