"Amazon believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable. Amazon does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts, however, we do support the right of every individual to make their own purchasing decisions."

That's the official corporate stance on censorship listed on Amazon.com's website. However, the world's largest online book retailer waffled on Monday first pulling, then reinstating, then pulling again a controversial book on ********** that had become an overnight bestseller.

strangely enough, they have yet to pull my Premium Link Upgrade . in fact, they do not seem to have a problem with it at all.
so i really wonder why they pulled this guy's boo, when their policy clearly states that they 'support the right of every individual to make their own purchasing decisions'. i think they owe people an explanation on this, and a clarification of their policies.
