UPDATE

There has been one (ONE) reply on the subject.

“This is an embarrassing and ham-fisted cataloging error for a company that prides itself on offering complete selection.

“It has been misreported that the issue was limited to Gay & Lesbian themed titles – in fact, it impacted 57,310 books in a number of broad categories such as Health, Mind & Body, Reproductive & Sexual Medicine, and Erotica. This problem impacted books not just in the United States but globally. It affected not just sales rank but also had the effect of removing the books from Amazon’s main product search.

“Many books have now been fixed and we’re in the process of fixing the remainder as quickly as possible, and we intend to implement new measures to make this kind of accident less likely to occur in the future.”

That's... not exactly a public apology, now is it. And notice how she's trying to distance it from the Gay thing. Correct or not, there was a reason the delisted books were delisted. Why did this happen? Errors don't come out of the ether, do they? (Do they?)


This is a pretty thoughtful post I can't quite classify, by leora.

And here's a pretty thought-provoking one, "Amazonfail & The Cost of Freedom". Seriously, be sure to read that one. Taken from carlanime

Hanlon's Razor. That's really my only thought on this issue.
