Considering that I also found Comfort Food by Kitty Thomas, which involves abduction and a whole lot of dubious consent, and a disturbingly vast array of dinosaur erotica (yep, you read that right), I think it's pretty safe to conclude that there's no censorship going on here.


/Runs off to Amazon to buy Comfort Food/

Comfort Food is a work of literary erotica/psychological thriller. This work is not romance. This work is not "BDSM fiction". This work is not "50 Shades". This is dark literary erotica. Emphasis on the literary. It's not porn for a quick spank, and it's not romance with an HEA. Please don't read this work looking for that kind of book. If you aren't sure if this author's work is for you, please try some of her lighter fare first, like Blood Mate or Mafia Captive.

DESCRIPTION:

Emily Vargas has been taken captive. As part of his conditioning methods, her captor refuses to speak to her, knowing how much she craves human contact. He's far too beautiful to be a monster. Combined with his lack of violence toward her, this has her walking a fine line at the edge of sanity. Told in the first person from Emily's perspective, Comfort Food is a tale of erotic surrender that explores what happens when all expectations of pleasure and pain are turned upside down, as whips become comfort and chicken soup becomes punishment.

DISCLAIMER:

This book explores mature themes and is not suitable for those who can't handle them or minors.

Perhaps joining a writer's group and getting needed feedback would be more helpful than whining because nobody wants to buy your bruised apples and buy the good apples from the store down the block.

If there's a CMS big enough to make ebook porn worthless, I think ebook porn will be the last of our concerns. Moving on...

It's douchey of Amazon to pull this stuff with erotica, but it's not what I'd call a human rights abuse. There are plenty of other self-publishing outfits out there to use, that are perfectly compatible with other E-readers.

Taken by the T-Rex was beautifully and sensitively written as was Sex Slave of the Centaurs.


It's not censorship.
Thousands of people put their erotica up on Amazon.
Some of it sells, lots doesn't.


I doubt the average femdom novel/story would cause any pearl clutching in a sea of
tentacle, dino(pterodactyls to), gargoyles, centaurs porn/erotica.

BDSM books are plentiful. If anything they are to plentiful and the market has
been flooded. Readers have moved on to other thrills like lizard men.

I liked Comfort Food and recommend it. Kitty Thomas isn't a bad writer.

Hold on a second, it's not an infringement of a basic human right, they aren't stopping anybody from reading or writing BDSM stories, they are just not selling them, which is their right as they own the store.

I don't like it as it's a step back towards being prude, but to call it an infringement of a basic human right is ridiculous. They aren't trying to outlaw them, it's a bit stupid as they are cutting down their own revenue, I doubt Amazon is interested in morality, so there must be a commercial reason for them, maybe they had too many complains?

I'd suspect that, given Amazon's past history with yanking books off people's Kindles as well as the website listings, there might be a bit more to the OP's issues than mere whinging. Taking books off the listing for sale is one thing, but pulling files that people have paid for off their ereader is quite another. Amazon have done that on occasion, which is why if I do end up getting an ereader, there is no way in hell I'm getting a Kindle.

Status: offline 		I forget the names of the books, but there was a big fuss about that happening a couple of years back. Something that had been published as being out of copyright, but wasn't, as you say.
The sticking point, though, is that nobody was reimbursed for a file they'd paid for, which then vanished into thin air. That's utterly reprehensible.
