All Books Have Value!

[shadownyc]

Much of this is reprinted from a dear friend's LJ as she said it perfectly:

Amazon is targeting adult books and taking away their sales ranking. This matters because some search engines' readers use depend on these rankings. And books earn their rankings and should have them--doled out equally.

Also, at the moment, it seems suspiciously to be targeting gay and lesbian material.

Basically, they are making it less visible. They are making money; but taking away respect.


Here are some links:

You can find out more about it as it unfolds here: http://community.livejournal.com/meta_writer/11992.html

And there are more posts as this grows.

To do something about it:

There is a petition going - please sign, they're looking for 100,000 "signatures" and have over 1,000. You can have your name hidden on the petition so it won't be public: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/in-protest-at-amazons-new-adult-policy

And you can write Amazon directly to let them know what you think: connect-help@amazon.com

Please take action!
