Storm in a tea cup.

It'll all prove to be something about nothing, blown out of all proportions by Fox, will be my bet.

Nope,it's all over the major groups. Philip R. Greaves (Fill Up our graves) can't even spell in his own blurbs; this is more like trolling without a net forum, and tweaking the whole net.

Amazon removes ‘paedophile guide’ from Kindle store

...However, the document has now been deleted, although Amazon has not given any reason for its change of heart.

Reading other forums on this, it was interesting to note; Amazon claimed that in the spite of the protests, deleting the e-book would amount to censorship. Then on their own review site, they deleted THOUSANDS of protest posts. So, if it doesn't profit them, they'll censor it and if they can make money off of it they won't.

The biggest factor was that people were going to boycott Amazon through their busiest Holiday shopping season. Hit them in the pocket book, and you've got their attention.
