Amazon appeared to have disabled its link Thursday to an e-book entitled “The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure,” amid calls for a boycott of the online retail giant.

The e-book, authored by Phillip Greaves, was published late last month, according to product details on Amazon.com. It was selling as late as Wednesday for $4.79 on the company’s Kindle Store.

But attempts to purchase the e-book a day later were met with the following message: “We’re sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site.”

A product description described the publication as an “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.”

The content led to hundreds of tweets criticizing Amazon for allowing the title to be sold. A Facebook page called for a boycott of the Seattle-based company.

Amazon had stood by the decision to sell the e-book.

“Amazon believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable,” the company said in a written statement Wednesday. It concluded, “Amazon does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts, however, we do support the right of every individual to make their own purchasing decisions.”
