Censored!
I tried to access Mobileread on my new Orange mobile phone web browser yesterday, only to be informed that Orange considers the site to contain "adult content" and I'd have to change my account settings before I'd be allowed to have a look at it.
Are them some obscene and salacious threads I'm missing here? What are you up to when I'm not looking? |

It's all those racy romance ebooks probably... Not to mention the silliness threads... Plus I think Alex might have snuck in some bawdy keywords in the metadata to get higher ranks on the search engines, he's a naughty, naughty boy...

It´s Don´s "can I get naked"-thread. Or maybe all those naked lolcats hanging around in the lounge.

It's the Harv and Vera saga, now going on in the "E-book Device Naming" thread. The sex scenes are, I grant you gratuitous, but they are there for a specific purpose. It helps sales.

Okay, whatever. As long as it helps sales. Wait, it's free, right? The saga, I mean. |

Well, as long as it's the sex and not the violence, I don't mind!
