OK. Amazon is pulling some amazing shit:

Amazon is apparently stripping the sales ranks from GLBT books, thus preventing them from showing up in some bestseller lists and searches (and potentially directly damaging their sales), on the grounds that they are "adult" material.

(This is regardless of whether they contain any explicit sex. Meanwhile, books with explicit heterosexual sex scenes retain their sales rank, as long as they're not overtly marketed as "erotica".)


And:

The idea that people with disabilities might have sex, apparently:

Incidentally, this is one of the many, many "disappeared" books where the Kindle edition still has a sales rank. Funny, that.


[livejournal.com profile] rydra_wong also noted that, in a clearly homophobic move, they pulled off the ranks from Heather Has Two Mommies, which, as you can see, is not "adult" at all.

So people, tell me, where do I buy books? You know I have no money and international shipping is extremely expensive for my country. :/

Ya que es costumbre...

DICHOSOS LOS OJOS QUE TE VEN. XP

OOoh, la guardaré, yo siempre veo que no cobran gastos de envíos cuando es por ahí cerca, pero por acá son carísimos. OTL (No creo nomás no me cobre envío XP)

Muchísimas gracias! <333333
