      So @amazon announcing that it will no longer sell books with "material we deem inappropriate or offensive" makes me wonder if they'll start with The Bible, The Koran, or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

      The really chilling thing is that they also disappear all the used copies from Abebooks, which they now own. So they're not just choosing not to sell the book. They're also preventing thousands of individual used booksellers from doing so.

          Not really. They’re preventing booksellers from selling on AbeBooks., owned by Amazon. Try: ThriftBooks, Biblio, half priced books. http://Biblio.com  is most like AbeBooks, in my recent experience.

          I wonder if they tell the used booksellers when they do this. I bet they don't. I bet they just quietly flip a bit in the database, and the book stops showing up in search results.

          Amazon isn’t content removing books from the Kindle store — they go as far as deleting them off the devices of people who’ve already purchased them

          The irony is that someone needs to start an online bookstore to compete against Amazon.

          Maybe the VC behind Parler and Gab can get on that.
