So you Kindle users should be comforted that Amazon is protecting you from stuff you should not be reading.

Actually, Chris, we found out the issue. It was the cover. We took it down, replaced it with a blank page with text until we can find something else. Morons.
Amazon employees don’t like to look at naughty depictions!
Thank you for the clarification, Fiona.
Fiona is with Pink Flamingo and should be given much credit for having the patience to deal with Amazon and its bureaucracy.
Fiona, I shall not again be so quick to attribute any literary skills to Amazon and its employees.

By all means, feel free to criticize them all you want. I do, every day.
With Amazon, I honestly think it depends on who the reviewer is once you publish. If you get the wrong person, your book gets kicked off. Their content guidelines are so vague it's a wonder anything gets published.
