Under a court order, would not Amazon be compelled to comply?
Maybe. But they'd be doomed as a company the second they did, so they would fight such a court order tooth and nail.

I can easily imagine a government somewhere which would order Amazon to produce the names of all of its citizens/residents who ordered The Turner Diaries or Mein Kampf.

Yeah.......just like any other company that sold the books to private parties.

Or Libraries.

Nothing is "private" any longer. If you are on the grid, your life is an open book, to government, or any interested party with a few bucks for the service.
