The Speed of Amazon Censorship

How long does it take Amazon to ban a book they hate?

We tested it. On April 16, 2021, a new book of ours was put into international distribution, and on the same day it also showed up on Amazon.com for sale – until yesterday, April 30, 2021, when the page was removed. So here is the answer to the above question: two weeks!

The Speed of Amazon Censorship, Part II

Again: How long does it take Amazon to ban a book they hate?


Actually, the last test we reported wasn't even finished, because we published the German edition of the same book on that same day, but Amazon Germany was asleep at the helm. They figured out only roughly one week later, hence after three weeks in total, that we have the book out in a German edition as well. However, when they scraped that off their site, they also realized we have a new couple of books out, which they annihilated at the same time. This, too, is an English-German double release we are now proud to announce officially:

Can Amazon ban books faster than they are published?


We are testing it. In a few days, we will release another English-German pair of new books, and within hours, they should also show up on Amazon.com and .de, unless of course they ban these ISBN numbers beforehand. Preventive censorship! We'll see whether they will do it. And here is the next object of their unrelenting hatred, which can already be ordered (shipping starts sometime next week):
