On iPhone, Searching For Kama Sutra = Porn

Posted by timothy on from the welcome-to-the-library-here-is-your-book dept.

heychris writes "Eucalyptus, an ebook app for iPhone, has been rejected from the App Store for 'objectionable content.' What's so objectionable? The Kama Sutra, available from Project Gutenberg, which is available on other ebook readers as well. Not only that, but the screenshot shows that you would have to search for Kama Sutra to get it; it's not built in to Eucalyptus. The author is reasonable but frustrated, while Herr Gruber is more succinct." I wonder how good the now-cheap Nokia 810 is as an e-book reader.

    Comment #9...

    Suffice to say, I'm retired from the software industry for a few years now -- but what I'm seeing (email only, lack of comprehension, boiler plate non sequitor responses, unexplainable delays, bad system still in place after x months) reeks of using outsourcing.

    Obviously one of their little Indians got his Cheerios / Nan & Curry pissed in by even the sheer mention of lingham and yoni.
