Dwelling in Probabilities

from Kate Harding at Salon.com:
"Update: Jessica Valenti's editor at Seal Press, Brooke Warner, has spoken to an Amazon rep who told her it was neither glitch nor hack. In an e-mail to Valenti, Warner wrote, "Basically he said that Amazon has been experimenting with the way they dole out content specifically so that people who are searching Harry Potter or whatever won't run into links to products that might be offensive... [T]his is mandated from their bosses, who essentially want to be Walmart.... also said no human is responsible for the decisions per se, and that it's all about tagging and feeds which are constantly being tweaked. He does think that amazon will retweak the tags based on the uproar that happened over the weekend." However, others remain convinced it's the work of outside shit-disturbers. Amazon, meanwhile, still hasn't apologized for the glitch/fail/hack/error, and I still find that totally baffling. "

Yes, they did it more or less on purpose and we haven't "won" a damn thing yet because they're just going to try it again when they think no one's paying attention.
It sounds like some, but not all, gay titles have been relisted; a number of lesbian ones, including my own and BLE, had not been as of earlier this afternoon.  Remind me again why I only buy my books at independent bookstores? Oh wait, it's coming back to me.
