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.
