Oh damn, not Amazon, too!
Apr. 13th, 2009 10:29 amOkay, so I'm going to give Amazon the benefit of the doubt. For a week! Because this is so not okay!
Short story, just so you know what you'll be clicking on, is that the sales rankings has been stripped from a long, long list of gay and lesbian-themed books. Fiction, non-fiction, non-explicit and explicit - doesn't seem to matter.
According to Amazon's latest "statement of fail", it's a glitch. Odd how it's hit gay and lesbian books and not, say, explicitly pornographic books with heteronormal content. *eyerolls*
But, like I said, they're going to get the benefit of my doubt. Because it's possible this is the work of outside forces, using Amazon's own system of users flagging questionable content against them.
Follow the link at your own risk - it'll land you right smack in the middle of the biggest internet-debacle since boldthrough - but it also contains a number of links that will help you understand what it's all about, really. Including a list of all books hit by this (I'm going to use that as a shopping-list at some point, I swear!)
