Amazon Yanks Pedophilia E-Book Amid Boycott Talk 11/11/10 (Nov. 11) -- Amazon.com appears to have severed sales of an e-book that condones pedophilia, after news of the self-published "child-lover's" guide went viral on the Internet and sparked cries for a boycott of the online bookseller.
The book, "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover's Code of Conduct," still appears on the Amazon site, but its link yields an error message. All 3,011 customer reviews are also inaccessible, but a discussion page about the book is still visible. It is rated by Amazon users as having one out of five stars.
"I am extremely joyous for the Victory pertaining to the removal of this nasty book," wrote one user.
There's been no official word from Amazon that it has dropped the book. As of this morning, the book was inaccessible on the site, but users in Amazon's discussion forum said it was available intermittently throughout the night.

Amazon Backing Down? 'Pedophile Guide' Listing Unavailable After Outrage November 11, 2010 An e-book for sale on Amazon.com entitled "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure," was no longer available from the retailer late Wednesday after shocked consumers across the nation called for a boycott....The listing and description of the item was no longer available early Thursday. It was unclear if the item was intentionally pulled.
"This is my attempt to make pedophile situations safer for those juveniles that find themselves involved in them, by establishing certian [sic] rules for these adults to follow," a product description read. "I hope to achieve this by appealing to the better nature of pedosexuals, with hope that their doing so will result in less hatred and perhaps liter sentences should they ever be caught."
The content led to hundreds of tweets criticizing Amazon for allowing the title to be sold and a Facebook page was created calling for a boycott of the Seattle-based company.
