The problem being that, as far as I can tell, in this case, they're singling out male/male "porn." If they don't want to sell pornography, that's fine. Whether or not I agree with it, I do understand the decision to not want to stock porn. But if Amazon is only going to sell porn for straight guys, then that seems very arbitrary to me. I agree that it isn't exactly comparable to the events of Fahrenheit 451, but personally, as somebody who enjoys yaoi, I'm reconsidering my decision to buy a Kindle based on this, even though I was only planning to use it to read more traditional literature.

Again, this article has nothing to do with underage porn. Yaoi is just drawn male/male erotica.
