Amazon has found itself in the middle of controversy by selling a Kindle digital e-book that, as its title promotes, is a guide for pedophiles. The digital 'Pedophile's Guide for to Love and Pleasure' has prompted 762 1-star reviews, placing the book at number 158,221 on the Amazon's best-selling list. Others are also considering the boycott of Amazon while a few have written to the retailer and received a note that banning the book will be a form of censorship and Amazon advises users to essentially vote with their dollars in a capitalist society by not purchasing the book:
"Let me assure you that Amazon.com does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts; we do support the right of every individual to make their own purchasing decisions. Amazon.com believes it is censorship not to sell certain titles because we believe their message is objectionable." (Amazon)
