Fairly complete account of the problem, focussing on
some of the British authors affected, and the various
responses thus far forthcoming to authors and others,
in the Guardian at
http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2009/apr/13/amazon-gay-writers
and a comment by an author affected at
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/apr/13/amazon-gender
It's worth noting that, for those who depend on sales
for income, and those seeking to be published, the
changes in sales of certain types of books that this
incident, however explained, may bring about could have
serious consequences.
