Amazon FAIL.

randomlingI am, oh my God, so angry at Amazon right now. Here's the Publishers Weekly article all about it. Basically: they have removed all "adult" titles from their sales rankings. That's not just erotica, but anything with any queer content at all.
They say it's a glitch. I would like to believe them, but they're clearly lying - they wrote emails about this. Someone, somewhere, made a policy decision. It's insane. And it's happened on the UK site, too, in breach of anti-discrimination law.
I'm so angry!
I won't be buying from Amazon again, is the upshot. In fact they are just about to get removed from my bookmarks. I guess Play, Borders, John Lewis, and online second-hand bookshops are getting my business from now on. Because this sucks.
And at some point I should really make a post on my writing blog about why.
