Some book sellers removing all indie books
Disclosure: I have several books featured on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble as well as Kobo and others, but none of them are considered pr0n. This would be amusing were it not for the fact that WH Smith is removing all indie books from its Kobo feed.You should read the whole thing: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and WH Smith are taking a radical response to last week's "news" that they sell boundary-pushing adult content in their ebookstores. They are now deleting not just the questionable erotica but are also removing any ebooks that might even hint at violating cultural norms. This story began when The Kernel discovered last week that, much to their dismay, Amazon was selling legal adult content... I saw the Amazon.com entry for one of the teen pr0n fantasy novelettes. It was 16 pages. For $3.99. Delivered. That's what you pay. I once took 16 pages to describe an argument about why the characters in a novel couldn't find pack animals in a small Oklahoma mountain town. I promised you it wasn't pr0n. It was eventually edited down to two. Posted by: badanov 2013-10-15 |
