Providing server space to Julian Assange/Wikileaks and selling a how-to-guide on pedophilia are two of the reasons I no longer do business with Amazon.
It looks like they pulled it pretty quickly:
The fallout from the latest Wikileaks revelations is becoming extremely toxic and dangerous for Julian Assange, and the news that Amazon.com has taken down his site is a dramatic development that will hurt him badly.

Yeah, it’s a real problem, but one not specific to Amazon.
Two Pro-Pedophile Books on B&N???

In light of the “pedophile guide” scandal on Amazon I began telling people to shop B&N instead. Imagine my surprise when investigation by others turned up two pro-pedophile books on B&N. One, by Phillip Greaves 2nd who wrote the “pedophile guide” is easy to explain - it’s only when you look at chapter titles that you find the one promoting pedophilia. The other, however, is more disturbing. Written by a retired California dentist it is called: “The ‘Pedophile’ Sham”. The information page states: “Pedophilia is a word that has been misused,” says Joseph. “A pedophile is good, whereas the true culprit name ‘pedosexual’ has been uncovered. We do not call a homosexual a homophile. We should not call a pedosexual a pedophile.”
Obviously, B&N needs to screen their offerings more carefully as well. Hopefully these books will be romoved quickly.
