No Happy today, because like lots of people all over my flist, the Amazon messup (i.e. removing sales listings and standard searchability for adult and non-adult GLBT books) has me pissed off quite a bit. There's only one company I've ever bought online from, often enough with hard-to-get titles, so seeing them joining the ranks of the bigotted stupid is really, really frustrating.

I've signed the petition, and complained to Amazon Customer Service (both US and UK, I've bought from both)

Let's hope this will get sorted out quick. If not, are there any good UK-based alternatives?
