Many of us went into overdrive about this. It just needed the "light of day" for Amazon to realize this was an unwise move. It was an error, but not an accidental one, for sure.
Irrespective, it shows that if we all band together and make noise (at whatever level we can) it makes a difference. People should keep that lesson close to heart. Emails/calls/postings on X/whatever -- they all help.
I must urge everyone to read Alexander Durgin’s book “The Great Awakening vs. The Great Reset.” This brave Russian philosopher intimately understands the situation the world is in and his solution is to spread awareness of the Great Awakening. He argues many people across the world are against the Great Reset and progressive liberalism, and our best chance to defeat our elite masters is to make the Great Awakening a serious movement. He makes many profound points and presents an interesting history of liberalism. The book takes an hour or so to read.
The book is only available from the publisher in both print and digital form for $4.95. It has been banned elsewhere, of course.
It is not merely enough to oppose the Great Reset. We must, with great passion, unite together and find common ground to defeat our enemies with others in the world. Time is running short, however. Spreading the word is imperative.
I too send a message that I was closing my Amazon acct and closing the Amazon MasterCard due to their decision to cancel the book, after receiving the benefits of its sales. I was so upset when I read this and now, relieved but still not sure I want to use Amazon now.
I encourage you to quit Amazon. I just dont understand when people claim they can't get along without it. I'm perfectly fine without it and I have the added satisfaction of not giving a dime of my money to that corporation.
I really want to close my Amazon account because of this debacle with the McCullough/Leake book. However, I just looked into it, and I found that if I close my Amazon account I will lose access to the 300+ titles I have in my Audible library. That would really hurt.
So maybe I will do this: I won't close my Amazon account; I'll just stop using it.
I download all my Audible books on my computer and store them on a separate hard drive. I don't see how Amazon could prevent me from listening to those, especially on an unconnected device. They might, however, somehow disable the Audible app
A quick search just now reveals that the native audible .aax format can be converted to MP3 using a variety of free or paid applications, which removes the DRM.
The Audiobooks are all downloaded to two of my devices. However, I cannot access them unless I'm logged into Audible. At least, I don't think I can. Have you found a way to do it?
I don't use the app to listen on my Mac. Instead I download my titles into my iTunes library (mp3) and create a playlist for each one. I have also created a copy of my entire library on an external drive for back-up.
I occasionally transfer items from my library to an mp3 player for listening on-the-go without the need for connectivity.
I just finished reading your book. It ws so good I couldn't put it down! When I heard they had banned the book on Amazon, I went to buy it directly from you, but then I remembered that I may have purchased it prior to Amazon banning it - well, sure enough, I had it in my Kindle library! I started reading it right away and finished in just a few days! When I went to give it a review (5 star of course), it wouldn't let me - so now I'll go back and complete the review on Amazon! So thankful they reversed their ban - everyone needs to read this book! Thanks to you and Dr. McCullough for all you do!
This has put a bad taste in my mouth about Amazon, amongst others like PayPal, YouTube, Google. I am please to see that they have reconsidered their decision.
One wonders precisely who actually had the authority to give "The Courage..." the Fahrenheit 451 treatment, as well as who reversed that call on further review. Then again, regardless of who rescued the book from its brief exile to Amazon Purgatory, I believe that 180 was purely a $$$ decision., i.e., anything BUT an ethical one
Great news I sent Mr. Jassy a pointed email. Told him to look up my Acct. And how many books I have bought from Amazon and say Good Bye to me as I was taking my business elsewhere where they don’t ban books. Hello Barnes and Noble Mr. Jassy Good Bye Amazon
I too will not buy from Amazon, they made some 20 billion extra during the lockdown hoax, I believe they were officially in on the whole deal, it sure wiped out millions of small business, never to return again. Supporting them will cost people dearly in the near future, when they are the only game to buy from or be employeed by. They pay their employees so low and do not provide health insurance, our tax money supports them, just like Walmart.
Dr. Peter McCullough and John Leake are the most intelligent, honest, integrity-filled, kind, caring, amazing men I know! I support the McCullough Foundation. And listen to Dr. McCullough’s weekly podcast and I am a member of his Substack because I know I will get the truth, and will stay updated on the truth where you won’t get it from our government agencies! He saved my life in 2022 when I prescribed to his early treatment protocol. My husband who was 70 at the time and worked(s) (in security) in a hospital around many covid patients at the time never got COVID and when he did he watched Netflix movies at home during the week he was off. I was 64 and it worked for me also! Neither of us got vaccinated (exempt) and so thankful we didn’t! My husband was one of the last ones to get COVID working at the hospital. All the vaccinated ones got it first! I’ve also come across many people who never got the jab and never got COVID either.

Hooray for the Good Guys (and Gals)
I posted my comments on X. And forwarded this piece to many of my friends DDS through Signal, text email. Most don’t do X/twitter.

Dr. K - AGREED!
The word error implies accidentally. It was done intentionally.
I too send a message that I was closing my Amazon acct and closing the Amazon MasterCard due to their decision to cancel the book, after receiving the benefits of its sales. I was so upset when I read this and now, relieved but still not sure I want to use Amazon now.

What!?!
Download your audiobooks via a desktop.

Hope this helps.
I had a Kindle app and lost all my purchased books when I quit Amazon. Fortunately I had read at least 3/4s of them.
Wow. I wonder what the work-around would be for that?
Lyla Fuller - KUDOS for taking action that they care about...loss of revenue!
Vote with your wallet!!
The bean counters realized what a catastrophic price would be paid for their virtue signaling, which is a vice.
Yes, one needs to hit them where it hurts - in their pockets.

Thank you for the update. This is was very, very concerning.

Amazon is dirty business. Peace.
Awesome news! I had sent an email to the CEO along with many others as part of “Team Coffee & Covid.” Encouraging.
Great news I sent Mr. Jassy a pointed email. Told him to look up my Acct. And how many books I have bought from Amazon and say Good Bye to me as I was taking my business elsewhere where they don’t ban books. Hello Barnes and Noble Mr. Jassy Good Bye Amazon
See, all I had to do was buy ONE BOOK directly from the authors, instead of Amazon. The power of the Nancy😄
I never have bought one thing from Amazon, nor will I ever. Glad they backed down on this, but stay vigilant if you must continue to use them
Good news
Thanks for sharing the positive turn of events. Best Regards, LITB (ladyinthebarn)
