If the book in question is one they've printed via their CreateSpace and they didn't check it against their content guidelines before printing it... I'd say they're STILL not cool in my book. (Pun intended.)

Responses:

I'm not familiar with the content of what Amazon took down. All we know is "incest" is what the authors are claiming - TWuG Dec 16, 13:18 5
- I know. I'm kind of moving past the current story to an overall perception/case history of Amazon. If you recall they removed mine back in the day... - Qale Dec 16, 13:19 4
  - Actually, I don't recall. What happened with your book and how was it resolved? -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 13:22 3
    - It, along with others with gay content, were removed for a time. It took a few weeks, Amazon eventually blamed it on a hacker that found a way to rig - Qale Dec 16, 13:26 2
      - Ah, I recall that. I didn't remember you were caught up in it. - TWuG Dec 16, 13:29 1
        
        I certainly have made purchases from Amazon since. But I wouldn't buy a digital copy of a book via them, nor would I publish one again. - Qale Dec 16, 13:31
Finally: I've about had it with this whole "a couple of hundred of people flag something offensive" thanks to a social/political group, it gets banned - Qale Dec 16, 13:18
Or, you know, books. Like Flowers in the Attic, still available on their site. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 13:17 4

- You probably don't find it surprising V.C. Andrews is one of my influences do you. -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 13:19 2
  - Ah! No, not really. :-) -- nm - mara Dec 16, 13:20 1
    - Also, Anne Rice and Alex Sanchez. :P -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 13:21
